Young groundhogs are edible, although I wouldn't call them gourmet fare.  The taste is somewhat similar to rabbit, but with a slightly odd element added.  I baked one a few years back, and that one was enough.

Forget older groundhogs.  They are very troublesome to skin--the skin just doesn't want to come off the carcass.

Agree, raccoon is good.
Beaver is good, and a VERY dark red meat, but you have to be very
careful when dressing them out that you stay well away from their
'castor' glands and make certain that you don't get any on you or the
meat, or that's all you'll smell/taste.

I've been trying to catch one of the groundhogs around the place out
away from their burrow when I've got a rifle at the ready, but just
haven't been lucky enough yet. I'm betting they'd be pretty tasty.
