Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Mountain Lion Recipe?

Anybody have some good recipes?
I have one cut and wrapped sitting in my freezer, and I`m looking for ideas.

The thought of eating a mountain lion hasn't ever occurred to me, but you might ask a Chinese restaurant for their alley cat recipes. I'm sure that would work.

Actually good stuff. Let me see if I can find some for you. Not lucky enough to kill my own yet.

Take one tasty human...stalk, kill and eat.

Oh, you mean us cook them.

Let me know how it is, really curious. Also is it old or young? The older might be tough I figure but don't really know.

I have never cooked it or eaten it. But I have been told to treat it like pork.

Like what they say of bear meat. Makes sense.

The first one is called:

You Won't Beleive it is Cougar!

Serves: 2 - 3
Prep Time: 1 1/4 hrs

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 - 4 lbs cougar meat
1 1/2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp Worcestershire
1 lb sliced bacon
6 oz beer
1/4 tsp liquid smoke
1/4 tsp pepper

Mix all ingredients except bacon and meat in a bowl. Trim all fat and gristle from meat and then cut in to small pieces. Soak meat in mixture for 1/2 hour. Wrap half the meat in bacon strips, secure them with a toothpick and fry until done. Fry the remaining meat with out bacon for a different taste. You can flour or bread the meat prior to cooking if desired.

Breaded Lion Loin

Serves: 8

Prep Time: 2 hours

2 lion backstraps
4 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
cooking oil

Cut meat into 1/2" to 3/4" slices. Whip eggs until smooth. Dip meat in eggs, then in flour. Fry in medium hot skillet until batter is crisp on both sides.

If you treat it like bear or pork, mix it with beef, elk or venison and make some sausage.

My thought exactly.

A friend of mine's dad trapped for several years and always had his Chocolate Lab with him.He decided to chicken fry some Bobcat and feed it to his lab, not a good plan i guess.He said the dog grabbed it from his hand and spit it out immediately. It makes you wonder why dogs are smart enough not to eat the scheit but we are not...

hell I had a dog spit out moose tenderloin once....don't mean scheitt. have either of you had mt lion? If not take a hike!

Then you had one dumb azz dog.

Eat all that scheit you want,not me. I guess you can season a Turd to taste,but it's still a turd...

At some outdoor show I talked with a trapper from Canada. Forget his name but he had some title of some sort for winning some kind of competition testing your strength and outdoor skills. Anyways he lives in the bush year round and tries make use of everything he traps. He said his favorite thing to trap was bobcat and lynx. He loved to eat them, said they tasted just like turkey.

Never cooked mountain lion and the only one I have ever eaten was barbequed. Fine grain sort of sweet meat which could have been from the spices/marinade used. Reminded me more of veal than pork. No better or worse than a lot of other stuff.

Treat it like pork, it is some of the best meat you will ever get...

Prepare as you would pork. I'd try it in a heart beat. Not much I won't eat!

In Asia, it's pretty much the norm to eat domesticated cat, so wild cats can't be far off in taste. But I'm not Asian, so the idea doesn't sit well with me.

cat is just not ment to be eaten. a buzzard won't eat a house cat.
