I have eaten groundhogs. They are great. Every bit as good as beef. They are grazing the same grass as a steer.

The biggest issue I had was the fact that we hunt them in summer. So if you kill one at mid-day, it's too hot to drag him around the rest of the day. The ones I brought home were killed late afternoon and cleaned out promptly, then put in a cooler.

I agree with skeettx above. The crock pot is perfect for making a nice tender entrée of groundhog.
