|

| I read somewhere on the internet that it can be eaten. Has anyone had the experience of eating cougar meat? If so, what's it like? |

I have never eaten it, but my buddy says it is stringy and tastes like chicken. |

| I have heard that its good from modern day hunters and in books about the old mountain men who thought it was the best eating in the mountains. Hopefully I can answer you better after January if I have taken one on my hunt in Idaho. I'm going to try it even though my wife thinks I'm crazy! If you try some let us know how it tastes. |

| I've eaten quite a bit of it, if you can get past the thought of your house cat youv'e won the battle. I think it's a great tasting meat similar to pork. Just treat the meat well and don't wait too long to get the critter skinned out. By CDOW law if we shoot a cat then we need to prepare and eat all "edible portions" just like it was an elk or deer. Every thanksgiving we (the neighboorhood) have a combined wildgame feast and we had a houndsman who would get a lion about every year. He would fix his lion at the feast. |

I'll applaud AustinCo for giving the cat a try. I've heard stories about lion meat and there is even a recipe or two in the Rocky Mtn Elk Foundation camp cookbook for lion medallions.
Me? I'll settle for a Bacon Double Cheeseburger until I fill my cow tags. |

| Well since I didn't score my bull this year, didn't draw a deer tag the only thing left for me to eat is a cat if I get it? Ducks, geese and rabbit will have to fill in the rest :oops: |
