game animal, so take what is fit for consumption. However, I don't think it is spelled out what meets the rule vs the intent of the law like in Alaska. Just your opinion vs the gamey about what would be waste.

Both bear and cougar are considered big game animals like deer or elk.
And this is why I don't even attempt to fill my cougar tag. I'm terribly allergic to car hair I would be near death by the time I got it skinned and dressed.

I hate to see anyone pass up the chance to legally harvest a cougar. Maybe if you get the chance, shoot, make sure it's dead and down, notch the tag, and call a buddy or ask for help on here! I'm not in your area, but I'd happily drive 50 miles in any direction to help dress, skin and pack one out.
