What to do after harvesting mountain lion

[choppd]

I've been out hunting big game (deer, elk, etc.) and picked up a mountain lion tag just in case I run into one. My question to anyone with experience, is what do you do with a lion after the kill? Are they good to eat? I don't have experience in this area.

Louis and Clark have been reported to have written in their journal that moutian lion was the best eating meat on the nirth American Continent. Just be sure to cook it well.

I’ve prepared mountain lion for several folks and did not tell them what it was. I asked them to describe what it tastes like and every single person has told me it tastes like one of the best pork chops they’ve ever had.

I haven't had a chance to try it but I plan to hunt one.

So you can use the animal at least? I was worried that the meat is not great to eat, and I don't much care to mount it like a taxidermy.

My brother cooked his - said it tasted like pork. I'll probably grab a tag this season and give it a try.

Make sure to check the regulations for the state you're in. Some require harvesting the meat.

I always wondered if you could eat them
