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.
Just butcher the same as a deer, pretty much the same muscle groups. ;-)
Post by: bearhunter99 on October 31, 2018, 06:47:40 PM
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.
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.

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

She's got it skinned and meat cooling or cooled. Hard to communicate where she's at. I guess it's a big cat. She's pretty pumped about it. I believe she'll bring it back and get it done. I'll let you all know and maybe post pictures if she'll let me.That's awesome :tup: Congrats to her

So if you don't pick a cougar clean you should be ashamed of yourself?? What about my friend who shot a 200# cat 2500 verticle feet down in a hole. He took out the head and hyde and all the meat he could get in one trip and left the rest. Should he be ashamed?

Pretty sure he meant it's a lot to pay to have it processed when it's a relatively smaller animal to cut up.

Right now, I think near Rimrock. But is from Yelm area.I’ve never seen so much cougar sign as I did in the Rimrock this last September. We all had our heads on a swivel at all times. Thank your friend for taking one out :hello:

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: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.

(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.

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!
I don't think you can legally trade game meat.

Hide and head off and gutted weight was 106 pounds. Nice big cat.t
I’ve seen tons of cougar sign around 666 Yelm area off 510 and haven’t been back since about 2 weeks ago. just out of curiosity where was it taken so that I may feel a little more comfortable knowing the coast is clear. Much appreciated.

Yes I’m serious. I’m not asking for her/his hunting coordinates. Just curious if it’s the same cat in the same area that I was hunting. I saw tracks, skat as well as claw scratching on a tree base similar to house cats claw at a scratch post. I’m new to the PNW, any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

I can honestly say after my cougar hunt last year with Bearpaw Outfitters I have a completely different understanding of just how many cats are probably out there and how much ground they cover and actually overlap each other.Hide and head off and gutted weight was 106 pounds. Nice big cat.t

They are allowed to hunt with dogs, they take cats every year and there are new cats right back in the same area for them to harvest the very next year.
My guess is this is not the same cat that you saw tracks for and even it was there will be a new one in that same area next year.
Cats are curious so I am sure you have and will be watched whether you know it or not but the likelihood of you getting attacked are pretty slim. You probably have better odds of tree falling on you in the woods than a cat attacking you.
