Ok guys, I have to say this. Cougar is some of the best wild game I've ever eaten. Soak it in milk and egg overnight, flour and fry. Shake a little salt on it when you take it out of the skillet. Bobcat is ok too, fixed the same way, but it seems to have an aftertaste that comes up in about 30 minutes for me... Just have a late dessert and you'll be fine. Having trouble with the thought of eating dog though... But, if someone had a recipe that was good, and cooked some, I would humor them and try it.
