matthewp45 Report post Posted February 28, 2011 I bet you have tried to make coyote Jerky Tommy. If not, that is about the only thing you haven't tried. When I took the class to get my trappers license there were two different guys that said coyote was terrible but Bobcat was really tasty meat. I almost threw up.

billrquimby Report post Posted February 28, 2011 I've skinned a few coyotes, and their meat was dark colored and not very appealing. Cat meat is white and clean-looking. I've eaten bobcat, mountain lion, African lion and caracal, and would do it again. All had a distinctive but good taste IMO. Bill Qumby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don Martin Report post Posted March 3, 2011 I think I'd rather eat skunk !!! Bobcats and mtn. lions are good eating! Meat has the color of a quail breasts. However I don't eat no coyotes...especially when you know what they'll eat (anything). Did you know that in AZ since they are classified as big game animals you HAVE to bring out the meat? Yep, check the regs, when we killed a in 18B ( I called it in, my brother shot it) a few years back I boned it out and the folks at Region III asked to see the meat when we took the lion in. One of my Strip deer hunters (archer) a few years ago arrowed at cat at a water, and when we took it in for the mandatory inspection, they asked again to see the meat. If you don't have it, you might have an issue...I take photos of the boned out carcasses just to show the G&F folks that I did bone it out. I'm telling you lion is awesome! But just like anything you got to take care of it, skin quickly and cool it out, and package just like any other meat. Cook slow.. Don Martin AWO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broken Wheels Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Most third world countries have zero problem eating family pets and other critters we deem unetible but heck every GI I partied with in central and south america ate probably dog, monkey meat, alley cat and whatever else on a stick outside the local bars down in the barrio. Good stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don Martin AWO I wouldn't say cat meat is awesome (If I had the choice between elk and cat, I'd pick elk every time), but it's good. It does have a distinctive taste that is impossible to describe because nothing else quite tastes like it. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youngbuck Report post Posted March 3, 2011 I asked my dad when I was a kid, "Why don't you eat coyotes?" He said that he didn't think skinny, mangy dogs would taste too good. I haven't ever tried it. If Lark makes up a batch of skinny dog jerky when he gets back from Nover Skoshya, I'll try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pine Donkey Report post Posted March 3, 2011 Lark, thats what they tell all the new guys up there. Have you actually seen anybody eating it. Sounds sorta like a snipe hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
