Ace High Benny Report post Posted November 10, 2010 Howdy, I've been encouraged to get a Mountain Lion tag and I've decided that I will! Please excuse my ignorance but what does one do with a mountain lion? Eat the meat? how is it cooked?What is edible? Preserve the hide and just look at it? OK, I can use a taxidermist for that. Any suggestions? Much obliged, Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted November 10, 2010 The best game salami I have had was made with lion. Like all game meat, do not overcook when grilling some great lion steaks. Makes good fajitas or stir fry also. Europen the skull. A rug or just a tanned pelt to drape is nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace High Benny Report post Posted November 10, 2010 So, Jeremy, since you own a meat processing business, will you cut a lion? would you eat it or not? Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Browning'sCustomMeat Report post Posted November 10, 2010 So, Jeremy, since you own a meat processing business, will you cut a lion? would you eat it or not? Ace Personally I would not eat it. I have heard its great but I don't think I got the stomach for it. Its weird enough for me to see an animal of that size as white as a chicken. I think its a mental issue for me. And would I cut it? Yes sir, I would. I have before and would do it again. Bear and lion I just can't imagine eating but to each their own. If you're into new things, shoot, try it. -Jeremy- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That deer season as we had a CWT bbq down south, I made stew with 1/2 elk roast, and 1/2 lion meat. I wouldnt tell everyone what the meat was, but they absolutely loved it and said it was some of the best they had (not knowing it was lion). Of course when I told them they were eatting lion the flipped out but couldnt rave about it enough before hand. If you dont want the meat I will GLADLY take it off your hands!

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted November 11, 2010 I have filled 2 lion tags while deer hunting in the past 6 years... Lifesized my first and the one I just got will be a tanned throw... saving the rug mount for when I get a big tom with my bow and dogs. Either way... i have saved more deer than I have ever harvested!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
