Trapper Walter from deep in the Manitoba wildness sez they are extremely good eating, and contain superb amounts of energy. Eat beaver and you won't get hungry all day and can work hard.

However, when he went into the bidding room to pass it out to the buyers, it didn't go well for him and next thing he knew he was given a detention in his old age and forced to learn how to play video games on a computer while under Tanis' close eye until the big airplane flew him back to the bush!!!

Beaver is tasty but can have a laxative effect. Some James Bay Cree fellows were here for an trapping instructor course 20 years ago and they roasted a beaver quite high over the fire. It was scrumptious. They had a wire in the nose and a wire in the tail end. They would hang it over the fire by one end for an hour and then flip it end for end and roast it for another hour and then flip in again. Hanging over the fire the carcass would sort of slow speed spin while roasting. About 3 or 4 hours later we feasted.
