I've eaten mountain lion, which was fine. I know many who have eaten lynx but I like to use the lynx I catch to catch other lynx and just eat moose or beef instead. lol

We ate bobcat, cooked in an Asian style, on New Year's day this year. It was good. We had 23 people this year and everyone who tried the bobcat liked it. It was almost entirely finished.

From experience cougar back strap, loins and hind quarters is actually very tasty

Skinning a bobcat years ago I used a propane torch to cauterize an artery I had cut by mistake, in order to stop the bleeding. The torch cooked some flesh and it smelled delicious.

I know many trappers that eat bobcat and really like it. I myself haven't tried it.

I had some smoked mountain lion someone brought to our annual game feed. It wasn't bad. Also, tried some deep fried breaded timber wolf. That was nasty! Don't recommend that!


Got a photo from a speeding camera in the mail. I immediately sent it back - way too expensive and really poor quality.

Thanks Aaron. That was only a small portion of the food we had.

We have a party for New Year's where we eat something at least most of us haven't eaten. We've been doing it for around 20 years. We've eaten beaver, muskrat, raccoon, squirrel, groundhog, rabbit, venison, elk, goat, bison, camel, alpaca, kangaroo, partridge, pheasant, quail, guineafowl, geese, ducks, pigeon, doves, iguana, rattlesnake, python, alligator, snapping turtle, squid, octopus, cuttlefish, lots of species of crabs, lots of species of shrimp, oysters, clams, mussels, abalone, crayfish, lobster, scorpion, lots of species of fish.

There's always lots of more regular food too.

It's getting harder to find new meats to try.

Keith

Slow cooked with Mexican style seasoning over rice. Leftovers over nachos the next day.

Very cool Keith! Reminds me of a short story Sunbird by Neil Gaiman.
