firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted March 4, 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 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 Funny you would say that, Bill. A few years ago when I had meat from my lion there was a CWT get together down in 36b... I made stew that had both elk and lion meat in it. I wouldnt tell anyone what the white meat in the stew was until after everyone was done... All the members raved about it until they found out it was lion... THEN they didnt like it... Funny how that works, isnt it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeardownAZ Report post Posted March 18, 2011 Coyote meat not appealing! Of course some people would eat pickled turds if offered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BikerRN Report post Posted March 19, 2011 I can't speak for the taste of coyote, but I can confirm that dog is good. The Mandarin Chinese translation for dog is, "the sweet meat." Biker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
