Anybody ever make bobcat or Mt Lion jerky and how was it? I'm thinking of trying it with some lynx.

I can't say about jerky but have eaten mt lion and it wasn't bad. Others here have said that bobcat and lynx was good also but don't recall reading about jerky.


Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I've eaten both Lynx an Mt Lion both were good. Don't know why you couldn't make jerky out of any meat. All your tasting are the additives when It's finished.

Cat meat needs to be cooked well done to prevent potential problems from parisites/disease. Would dehydrating reach a high enough internal temperature?

No, not high temperature. I was kinda wondering about that aspect. What parasites/disease?

I've eaten cooked lynx and had lion jerky once before.

OK apparently at they can carry trichinosis:

Trichinella can infect over 150 different hosts. Most mammals are susceptible to trichinosis, but it is primarily a disease of carnivores. In North America, the parasite has been detected in black bears, coyotes, cougars, gray wolves, skunks, bobcats, raccoons, wolverines, fishers, lynxes, walruses, red foxes, grizzly bears, polar bears. Trichinella has also been found in rodents, beavers, opossums, whales, crocodiles, and carnivorous birds. Trichinella is a significant parasite of domestic and feral swine. Humans can also become infected.
