Marmot Stew Anyone?

[Aron Snyder]

So who has been lucky enough to have Colorado Surf and Turf?

Marmot and Trout make a fine meal when you run out of food a day or two early.

Colorado surf and turf!! A fine meal that few will have the luxury of enjoying! Tastes like chicken?

 

[GrayGhost]

Aron your an animal! How do you cook those up in the Backcountry?

 

[Evan Williams]

I did get to feast on some grouse this year had a group (flock?) hanging out in the timber around my camp this year and mmmmmmm what a meal

 

[Aron Snyder]

I cook them on a spit normally, but if I remember to bring aluminum foil I will use that as well.

 

[AlpineAthlete]

Been wanting to try one of those fat SOB's

 

[Foldem]

I've thought about it many times while they chirped at me as I glass for deer, but haven't tried it. How is the meat?

 

[Aron Snyder]

It doesn't taste like chicken by any means, but if you shoot or trap the younger ones (the 2 in my pic are old), they taste pretty dang good.

 

[aggieland]

Man the ones I have come close to Smelled like Ass.. I don't know about the chicken part, Maybe they are better than expected. I think I will just carry an extra Mountain House meal.

 

[Aron Snyder]

I can't believe someone from Texas would be scared to eat marmot!

If you get married down their and get a divorce, is she still considered your sister?

 

[aggieland]

She would be your Ex Sisterwife

 

[Backpack Hunter]

Never had marmot, had quite a bit of grouse and trout though!

 

[treestanding]

Last year we had red squirells and trout for dinner a couple of times. Even had a grouse one night. I brought a small cooking grate and just did them over the fire. It was a nice change from the backpacking food.

 

[bearguide]

i have never tried marmot, but many times i have wanted to kill them

 

[ohhiitznik]

So I should bring a judo point to colorado to smack those marmots?

 

[JG358]

Ya, I think I'll stick with grouse.

 

[Ironman]

Just curious, what kind of wood would you use to cook over?

"grab some more of that juniper there Leroy... We're gonna have some Gin flavored Marmot"!
