It's not required by law for anyone to eat cougar, it's a personal preference if you want to eat it or not.  :twocents:

Congrats to the lucky lady!  :tup:
It's required though to not allow the meat to go to waste, right?  I'm not aware of any exemptions in the wastage laws in Washington to legally leave the meat in the woods.

You are not required to take any cougar meat home.  Wastage laws do not apply to cats (or dogs for that matter).
Isn't it considered big game?

It is big game but there is an exception that allows one to not have to take the meat.

Quote
(68) "To waste" or "to be wasted" means to allow any edible portion of any game bird, food fish, game fish, shellfish, or big game animal other than cougar to be rendered unfit for human consumption, or to fail to retrieve edible portions of such a game bird, food fish, game fish, shellfish, or big game animal other than cougar from the field. For purposes of this chapter, edible portions of game birds must include, at a minimum, the breast meat of those birds. Entrails, including the heart and liver, of any wildlife species are not considered edible.

BTW - congrats on the cougar. Well done. :brew:

Large for a female cat. Of course, any cat over 2 pounds is pretty big and needs to be gotten rid of... kinda hate cats. Don't mind a kitten, but they always grow up..... >:(

Thanks Curly!  I wasn't aware of this.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
