I shot my first cougar and plan to eat the meat. I have heard it is excellent and somewhat like pork. It is certainly light in color. What I wonder is if it can be safely eaten if it is only cooked to medium rare or if it should be cooked more thoroughly. I know that pork and bear should be cooked more due to the risk of trichinosis. What about cougar? Thanks, Rufous.

rufous <br>Trichinosis has been found in mt. lions... but the better way to get around the problem is to freeze at 0 or colder for 30 days, which will kill 100% of the little buggers, then you can cook the meat as rare as you like. <br> <br>I have shot and eaten a couple of them, and they are first rate table fare. <br>art

Nawwww......I guess I shouldn't go there, in one of my rare displays of restraint. LOL
