I have seen it done on Life below zero and Mt men. Seems gross to me. But they won't eat bobcat. I often wondered why eat one cat but not the other. What am I missing here. ? Last night I saw a meal of beaver feet and beaver tail. . I sure could stick to my diet if this is all I had to eat.

I hear cat is good, I've not had it myself yet. I'm not sure about beaver feet or tail, but beaver meat is the best wild game there is, bar none.

My wife and I got to eat some Mtn Lion at the Western National held in Livingston this past June. It was delicious, we missed out on the Grizzly Bear sausage as it was already wolfed down upon it leaving the skillet.

Lynx meat is pretty good stuff. I would rather eat lynx than beaver.

The reason we don't eat bobcats is because there are none.

There are any number of trappers in the lower 48 that eat bobcat. If you aren't told what the meat is, it takes a very sophisticated palate to figure out what you are eating.

Its white meat ,similar to pork. Here in Alaska we pretty much eat everything, there are no fish we throw on the bank and say" we don't eat those" Just the people that are so far detached from the food chain,they get picky if it didn't come from a package or a store smile

I try to tell people who find it shocking that I would eat a beaver, or raccoon, or whatever, there's a lot more animals that you can eat besides cow, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and sheep, and you can get a lot more creative with it than just frying, baking, or sticking it in a crockpot with cream of whatever. Give em a try, you might like em.

I've tried mtn lion and it was OK. Beaver I didn't care for because I can always taste the castor. I don't like bear; like eating a black lab. Timber wolf I tried once; never again.

Loosegoose, if you think beaver is the best, bar none, you must never have eaten ruffed grouse.


I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

I like bear meat but you are absolutely right about ruffies. They are the best eating in the woods !!

I would not eat wolf unless it was a matter of life & death. Black lab isn't bad though as long as they aren't eating fish.

Speaking of eating lynx...............Gulo & Mrs Gulo make some mean lynx pizza

Never had ruffed grouse, so I should qualify my statement as saying beaver is the best wild game I've ever had, bar none. But I'm always open to having my mind changedgrin

I eat beef, pork, perch and walleye. If I am super desperate, I will eat chicken or turkey.

Burbot is good too, but folks will throw it on the ice and leave it. If I don't want it, it goes back down the hole.

Lynx is one of the best meat in the bush.It is a light meat like ruffed grouse breast or domestic rabbit.Tastes very good and is not tough.I have skinned a couple bobcats and their meat is not at all like lynx.
People love lynx meat here,Trappers here get requests for lynx meat from locals all the time.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Bobcat is excellent eating. It is much better than it sounds. Many people wouldn't be able to tell a difference from pork.

Spot on Boco
I have eaten coyote sausage and It was Ok . When I was skinning for a fox farm we sold all the carcasses to a local Japanese restaurant. I don't know what they did with them but I never ate there. LOL

As a museum preparatory you had a EAT LIST as a "Bucket List" to check off after you prepared a specimen and sampled it.

My "Bucket List " still has a WOOLY Mammoth on it for a sample dinner.
