I've been seeing a lot of cats taken on social media and I'm wondering what you guys and gals do with it after you kill one. Skull? Hide? Claws? Meat?....
Never seen anyone talk about what happens to the animal after the kill. THX!! :tup:

I'd do a rug with the hide as I'm not a big fan of full body mounts.

I have killed two and the hides got tanned and the skull on my biggest one just got wet outside until nature did its thing, the second one the hide got tanned and I yanked the k9s out and pitched the rest, I have heard cougar meat is pretty good but I won't take a chance of getting whatever disease you can get from eating carnivore !!
You wouldn't eat a bear?

You realize it's the exact same disease be it omnivore or carnivore? It's the same disease that lead to taking meat out if the diets of commercially grown pork. It's the same disease that is why we cook pork to well done center temps.i have ate a lot of bear, but bear are ominvores, cats are carnivores!!

Food handling classes really should be required in this day and age the lack of how food works knowledge is mind boggling.
Cougars are quite tasty.

so if you get a chance to go grizz huntn are you gonna eat the meat? Eating cat is just not a common practice, and your right, I don't know a lot about meat!! Even if I did I ain't eating cat :) my dad has eatn it and also says actual beaver meat is better than deer meat!! Again I have never eatn flat tales before and ain't about to start :tup: I ain't positive but I beleive the chances of getting sick from a carnivore is greater than eating an omnivore :dunno: but again I ain't positive !!You realize it's the exact same disease be it omnivore or carnivore?

It took me years and years to think deer was edible. Until a specific person said here try this and I was like ok but deer always tastes like billy goats smell. I was shocked it tasted good. Didn't taste like stinky goat at all.
So yup if I kill a grizz I will try it then decide if I like it.

Cougar meat is delicious! I haven't been lucky enough to shoot one, but a taxidermist I knew let me take the carcass of a client that did not want it.
I'd do a rug with the hide as I'm not a big fan of full body mounts.
I'm not a big fan of full body mounts either, BUT, Had my cougar done full body.....never get tired of looking at it. :twocents:

My dad has two cougar full body mounts, I'll end up with at least one, if I want it.... The funniest thing about his was when my dog would slink through the living room looking up at the thing ready to pounce from it's log beam perch. :chuckle:

Just cook it to 165F and any trichinosis will be killed off. You can also send a tissue off to a lab to see if it's trichinosis positive.

If I ever shoot a cougar I'll post it on here for some one else to enjoy.
If any one has any beaver meet to spare I'd like to try it.
