    Default Has anyone ever eaten this?

    Down here we eat darn near anything that swims, flies, crawls, walks, or slithers. This season my 14 year old made his first bow kills and while skinning the rabbit killer I noticed that it was some very pretty meat. My question is has anyone ever eaten bobcat and how you cooked it?

    I have never eaten cat, but just Batter it, then deep fry it. Everything tastes good when fried!

    Go the MCDonalds, tell them the new order of Bobcat meat came in, and watch as they prepare it into a cheeseburger

    I have eaten Lynx but never Bobcat. I don't see why you cant eat it. Heck, on a self imposed survival trip I killed and ate Parka squirrels. The Lynx was real good the Parka squirrels were greasy.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    from what i've heard, bobcat is supposed to be quite good and similar to leanish cut of pork. if it gets Euell Gibbons' seal of approval, it's worth giving it a shot.

    Most animals are edible, not all are palatable. Deep frying is a good way to cook most things you're not sure of. You could also try making up some stir fry or grilling it like chicken, although it probably won't taste like chicken.

    All fur bearing mammals in North America are edible as are all birds. None are poisonous.

    You might be interested in this recipe for Wildcat.

    Here's one for feral cat but how much different can it be from a recipe perspective?

    If this is one of those recipes that starts "First You Catch a Bobcat"........ Guess I will wait until it comes in a can.

    Yep, had bobcat before, once it was made into a stew, the other it was left in a brine solution so long that it was almost inedible so salty was it.

    Well, I've never had the pleasure but I'm told lynx can be quite tasty. I found this site: http://www.astray.com/recipes/?show=...%20lynx%20stew for lynx stew. Those who told me about it had just roasted it over an open fire.

    I guess you would cook it like any other red meat, Steak it, Marinade it, Fry it
    A wise person does at once, what a fool does at last. Both do the same thing; only at different times.

    Tony, I was thinking that anyone who has eaten and enjoyed haggis would be automatically disqualified from a thread with a title like this. On the other hand, we could probably all take something from your expertise....
