Woodchuck or Muskrat Pie
Skin and clean a young woodchuck or muskrat and remove the kernels under the front legs and in the small of the back. Soak overnight in water seasoned with a handful of salt. In the morning wash, rinse, and wipe the animal dry. Put the meat in a large pan, cover with fresh water, and add a large bouquet garni composed of 6 sprigs of green celery leaves, 1 large bay leaf, and 2 sprigs of fresh thyme, all tied together, an onion stuck with a clove, 10 peppercorns, and salt to taste. Cook for about 2 hours, or until the meat is tender, skimming the broth from time to time. Remove the meat, discard the bouquet garni, and reduce the cooking liquid over a high flame to about 1 quart. In the reduced liquid cook until tender 2 onions, sliced, and 1 1/2 cups each raw potato cubes, chopped celery, and chopped carrots.

Remove the meat from the bones and cut it into small pieces. Put the meat in a deep baking dish and add the cooked vegetables. Strain the stock and reduce it to 1 generous cup. Add 3 tablespoons sherry and stir in 1/2 tablespoon flour mixed to a paste with 1 tablespoon butter. Pour the sauce over the meat in the baking dish. Top with 1 cup mushroom caps, cooked in butter and drained, and cover the top with flaky pie pastry. Moisten the edges and press them carefully around the rim of the dish. Cut several gashes in the pastry to allow for the escape of steam. Brush with melted butter and bake in a hot oven (425° F.) for 10 minutes, or until the crust is brown.

Thanks guys,

Think I'll run these recipes through my Betty Crocker test kitchen on the neighbour's yappy little 'teacup' poodles and see how my big ol' sub woofer likes 'em..

Seems they scare the bejeezus out of my ol' hound as they run around under him nipping at his nether regions and he's got to do this dance not to step on them. I can see in his eyes pleading with me to let him take just one bite but Mrs. " Have You Just Got A Minute? " from next door would freak out.. Better they just disappear from the yard and I blame an owl or a hawk.

You guys list the ingredients, but what kind of fuse do I use and how far back from the explosion should I be?

all depends on how fast you can run. that is always the determinating factor in fuze length.
