Saw the cutest thing on the base today

[NOTSMC]

Traffic was stopped and the base police had the lights going right before the right hand turn for the commissary from the main gate. There was a groundhog in the pedestrian crossing and somebody behind him shooing him along.

I guess you had to be there.

So did I, at the pool. But forgot to get her name and number before she left.

There is nothing cute about a f**king groundhog!

Mine are gone. Dirty cat litter does repel them!

Beg to differ. A groundhog lumbering across a pedestrian crosswalk is absolutely adorable.

Groundhog was at the pool?

Spoken like a true farmer. Groundhogs were decidedly not welcome on our farm either....too dangerous for the cows and horses. They didn't go to waste though....old tenant that lived in a log cabin on the farm knew how to prepare groundhog properly for eating and it was surprisingly good!

You see "cute". Many in St. Mary's would see "dinner".

I had racoon a long time ago.....i don't remember the taste being overly bad or good....just another critter to eat in a pinch.

I remember, that you had to trim off some of the fat layer under the skin, but Dad put BBQ sauce on it and it wasn't bad. The muskrat was at an Izaak Walton League game dinner so it was prepared by experts and it was pretty good.

The biggest Tom turkey I had ever seen was in that exact same spot last week, at first I thought it was a kid in a turkey costume.

Then there's always beaver.

I've had porcupine, years ago when I was an Explorer Post adult advisor.
Not bad when properly field dressed and skinned.
Use beef bouillon powder rubbed in to season the meat. Roasted it over a campfire.

Domestic or wild?

Either.
