Cougar
« on: June 18, 2010, 08:48:55 PM »
So was curious to see how many people actually eat it or merely hunt for the trophy I personally have never killed one but would definitely try eating some. Where as almost everyone I know say they would never try it.
Happy Hunting :)

Dads buddy shot one about 5 years ago near Round mtn,  it stalked up on him and he put one in his neck about 10 yards away. I ate it and it was pretty good, not gamie at all that I remember. I ended up getting drawn (unofficially) for a cougar hunt with dogs today and am looking forward to putting one down.

I shot a very large one 4 or 5 years ago and a freind took the meat. He insisted that I try some so I did. It reminded me of pork with the taste and texture. I had a hard time getting past the idea that it was a cat. This one stalked up on me while deer hunting and I shot it at about thirty feet.

I've been wanting to try it for a few years now. I'll take some meat of somebodies hands if they harvest this year!!   :drool:
