Well, I had to do a report on something for school and I ended up picking bobcats.When my teacher found out she said that she had just got a bobcat from somebody and was going to smoke it and make some jerky. What do you guys think about eating a bobcat?
 
Make some real points with her and ask her if she would eat an alley cat... If she says yes, then hunt for recipes....

If she says no, then direct her to a local taxidermist and describe what a nice rug the skin would make next to her bed on these cool mornings... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif

I was always taught not to eat anything that also eats meat... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I know people that have, cut up seven cats one day for trap bait and thought the whole time how nice the meat looks. Coyotes love it!
 
The other white meat. I've never prepaired it but I've eaten it and cougar at some rendezvous and it was quite good. A warning that I've heard is that it needs to be cooked like pork or bear as it can carry tichanosis (sp?).

Well, I tried a piece of the jerky and I was surprised that it was pretty good. Turtle, not a good idea with that teacher /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
At the annual Huntmasters Hunt, this past October, Steve Craig fried up a plate of bobcat backstrap pieces to pass around as an appetizer. I have to admit, if I didn't know any better, I would have thought it to be pork chop pieces, same texture, and amazingly, very similar in flavor.
I will admit, that as I was chewing, my mind flashed back to the many bobcats Ive skinned that were riddled with worms, both internal and throughout the flesh,so I tried my best to think porkchop:)
 
I killed a cat a couple weeks ago, and cut the backstaps out. I breaded, and fried it, it was like eating a really lean pork chop. I let the guys I work with, sample it without telling them. Everyone thought it was wild turkey or pork.

I've eaten a lot of wild turkey and pork, but never anything tasted anything alike. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif

What kind of pork are you eating that tastes like turkey, and vice versa? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I guess I will have to try some bobcat. I've used to read about how the mountain men loved mountain lion.

If I ever get a lion, I will definately be trying it.
 
Lol Weasel /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I don't think it tasted like pork or chicken /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif But I think I will get some meat off of the next bobcat/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
Yellowhammer, go back and read the post slower. Folks were guessing as what the meat was. I never said turkey tasted like pork or vice versa.
 
Well, if you feed it to anybody at least tell them what it is first. I'd be enraged if anybody ever tried feeding me cat without warning me first.
 
Thanks for your lesson in dining manners...I didnt realize I needed to go into vast detail, I was simply responding to a post.

I didnt mislead anyone, or force anyone to eat it. I told them it was a mistery meat, and to try and quess. Some chose to try it, others didnt. Of the seven or eight folks that did, nobody became enraged.
 
Not bad. Needs garlic. Fed it to about a half dozen people . Some I told prior and some I didnt. No one thought it tasted bad before or after I told them. I asked my dad if he wanted to know what it was. He said he didn't care what it was because it tasted good and thats all that mattered.
 
Kates- I have not eaten cat yet myself, I just that that the difference between pork and turkey was pretty wide for the cat to be compared to both.

I was thinking it sounded kinda like someone trying a mystery sandwich and one saying it tasted like peanut butter and the other saying tuna fish. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
