Should Minnesotans be allowed to consume a beaver that damages their property?

It’s the third-biggest question surrounding the animals in Minnesota, right behind the age-old question of “How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” and “Who eats beavers?”

A bill introduced by DFL State Senator Grant Hauschild aims to answer at least one of those questions by once again allowing Minnesotans to eat any nuisance beavers they killed.

I feel bad. Seems some people are going around shaving the poor things. They’ll freeze.

Had anyone ever eaten a Beaver? What do they taste like? Can you compare it?

"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance."

Not enough tar and feathers in the nation...

A bit tangy and sweet. Nice aroma. A lot of it depends depends on what time of the month they are captured.

Personally, I love hairless beaver!

As I recall, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is not a big beaver eater. He prefers sausage.
