My ex work partner Christine shot a cougar and wants to know where to get it processed. Any suggestions? I'll see if she will let me post a picture. She's a member here, but still out hunting.
Help me out guys...

Right now, I think near Rimrock. But is from Yelm area.

I never killed one but the guys I know who have just take the back straps and most of the big muscle groups off of the hind quarters and leave the rest. Most processors usually have a minimum so unless its a monster you'd probably be paying a ton for not a lot of meat.

Don't waste the front shoulders, plenty of meat to turn into burger.

Pretty easy to do it yourself, pull the backstrap and grind the rest, or save a few larger muscles out of the rump for steak or pot roast.

I'd offer in trade for a piece of backstrap, if I was closer.  ;)

Congratulations to the shooter!

If all you are needing is burger ground, I can do that here at the house. Grinder, mixer and vac pack. I am in Kent. If it is more than that, i dont know. Never even set eyes on a dead cougar so I dont know how it should be cut up.

I'd probably bone it all out and have it made into pepperoni sticks. Otherwise I'm not sure I could eat a cat. I'd go to Northwest Sausage and Deli in Centralia.

Stewart's Meats, on SR 507, between Yelm and McKenna. I cannot vouch for their service, but they do handle wild game.

Just butcher the same as a deer, pretty much the same muscle groups.  ;-)

I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but that is a waste and they should be ashamed of themselves if they do that.  Cougar meat is excellent and makes great burger and sausage too.

 :yeah:
Stewart's does all my processing for me and I've never had an issue. I think the charge for a cut and wrap is about $.90 per pound with an $80 minimum.
