I was under the impression that it's not required that you eat a cougar that you harvest but now I'm wondering.............. is it? I'd love to shoot one one day but honestly I just can't imagine eating a cat. YUK.
Gut it tastes like really good pork...I also thought eat a cat are you nuts...but someone I knew killed one it was after their horses and being brave I tried it...damn it was good.
and saylean :nono:

Cat... :) Was kinda greasy though... And some parts very tough... Couldn't even chew it... Good flavor....

It's very good. One thing to keep in mind is to make sure it is properly cooked. Someone in Sandpoint a couple of years ago made lion jerky and took it to work and made everyone very sick with trichnosis.:yeah:
A Montana University did a study on trichenosis in MT. If I remember correctly 14% of bear and 47% of cougar carry it in MT. I would expect roughly the same in WA.
Just cook the meat and any jery well, and it will be some great tasing table fare for you, much like pork as everyone else stated.

I brought a lot of meat on my cat out, but havent eat any yet, I need to fiqure out a good recipe. Ill let you guys know how it is when I eat some.
A taxidermist gave me one once, excellent eating. Grill the backstrap or whatever you would do with a high quality pork loin. We burgered the rest, labeled fluffy burger in the freezer. The family like it as well.

This makes me want to eat it even less than I did before. I had heard you shouldn't jerk bear since the process isn't hot enough. I never have because of that, I just turn mine into sausage and whatnot.

So don't make jerky! Who would make jerky out of pork? Same thing for cougs.

No not an attack.
Just seemed silly to back off from eating something you might harvest when 40 people say how good it is and one says something negative. The point was there are lots of things in the world that can make you sick, so you take precautions. Bear can have the trichinosis worms as well.
The only people I might attack are ones that try to force their ethical beliefs on others. :)

Never had it, but I would sure love to try it. It is said it was one of the mountain mens favorite meats.
I believe the mountain men refered to it as painter meat. I have read alot of books in which they said it was the favorite meat of choice for them.

I have heard it is good, :)must be nice and clean. One thing is it only has to be 98.6 degree's to be safe to eat, not 160 like ground beef. :chuckle:

At first i thought "that doesn't sound right". I was even getting ready to google it. Then the light bulb went on. Very nice. LOL!

The best cougar I ever tasted was one I got in Bellevue :archery_smiley:
Bellevue cougar huh...not my choice, but sounds reasonable, I prefer more small town cougar, sometimes kittens, more around 20-25
