Now I need a cougar!

Whole different technique. Start with a martini and then...

High maintenance cougar drinks.🤣

Those cougars are too rich for my blood.  Might need a cheaper attractant, like a white claw.

I never have, as I have never killed one, but does anyone on here eat Bobcat meat?  Curious what thoughts were for those that have eaten it.

I've eaten from a few. Couple younger cats tasted like dry pork. Another cat tasted like dry pork with piss in it.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I'd be ok with the couple younger ones then, maybe not so much that last one... :chuckle:

I've eaten several bobcats. All were from old, large males, and all were good. I'm sure that individual bobcats taste better or worse than others, like meat from most kinds of wild animals.   Bobcats taste kind of like lynx, only lynx were better to my taste.  :)  Similar to cougar; with meat that turns white when cooked, like pork.  We've done medallions of bobcat tenderloin with eggs for breakfast and bobcat "steaks" in a gravy.  All of the pieces are small, and are easy to overcook and dry out.  I try to cook them barely done. 

Good for you to call and kill one! You have joined the club! I enjoy calling cats more than any other kind of hunting.
