Years ago I watched a Travel Channel program "The Worse Foods in the World."
Marmot prepared by Mongols made the list.

I hunted in Mongolia 20 years ago this fall; I remember they said they would dig hole, burn wood to embers, then throw the marmot in there whole. The fur would burned off but you peeled it away like a baked potato.

I passed. On the other hand, the trout they served was superb.

Indians on the reservation eat marmots, Saw that on TV, they also burned the hair off peeled the skin and ate them..I suppose if I was hungry under dire circumstances I would eat a marmot or a skunk..Hunger is hard to fight..

If a Marmot is a ground hog, then I have ate at least one pounds of them hams braised with potatoes.

They are just a big ground squirrel.

I ate them growing up not well off, in South KY. Waste not Want not.

I will not eat shoot one today. Because I am never eating another ground hog again.

I remember in the Paul Newman movie "Hombre" about this uppity white woman in the stagecoach talking about how those nasty indians ate dogs. Then later on when Richard Boone has her tied to the hillside in the sun for days + Paul Newman says "Ask her if she'll eat dog now."


Never mistake motion for action.

Thanks for the heads up, but I didn’t need to be told not to ear marmot.

I think the OP referred to RAW marmot.

Is there anyone here who would eat RAW marmot? If so, let zir speak now, or forever hold zir's peace (or is it piece??). Cool

As a kid I loved the challenge of hunting shooting groundhogs and the fact that my grandfather paid me $1 apiece only gave me more incentive.
When I college I would have a spring BBQ with the young ones and it was always popular

I haven't tried Marmots yet


Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

Dang! For some reason I woke up this morning a hankering for some raw marmot. I guess I will have to make do with navy beans, mustard greens, and buttermilk cornbread.

Guess it just depends on how hungry you are. Ive eaten road runner, Javalina, bobcat and Mt. Lion, none of which bothered me at all and in fact it was good, but my son told his friends Dad will eat the ass out of a skunk is need be..To eat raw marmot would be stressful but beats the hell out of severe hunger..

Eaten ground hog ,raccoon, muskrat, beaver.

None that I well eat again unless I am a lot hungrier then I am now.

The worst tasting stuff I ever tried was fresh water clams.

For those of us that were around when Herter's was one of the main outdoor equipment suppliers...

George Leonard Herter would often write little bits in his catalog. I remember one time he wrote that Groundhogs (Woodchucks or Marmots) were better eating than deer.

Herter was from around here.

His relationship with the truth was, well, at times a relative matter; at least according to the folks I know who knew him.

I have a cookbook of his.

Some things look reasonable, others, well....
