Craig - How can woodchuck be any different than muskrat?
I gotta get me a muskrat soon and cook it up like i would a snowshoe hare... and let me tell you, snowshoe hare is not tough at all. I quarter them and take the quarters and the section that has the backstraps and tenderloins and cook them on the grill basting them with something mild (so as not to destroy the flavor - they taste like the dark meat on a store-bought turkey) and eat it like you would a drumstick - Delicious!!
Every year at deer camp I try to get a hare or two with my .270 - just look for their black eyeball against the white fur and the snow on the ground - put the crosshairs on that eyeball and BAM! No loss of meat at all.
