Eating predators ?

Have had, Bear, Snapping turtle, BBQ Coon, Alligator tail, Rattlesnake, and others I have forgot over the years. I like my meat well done so that helps with the parasites.
I would try Yote and Bobcat if I knew a good Chinese Chef to prepare it for me.;)
 
I got a bear last year. It was awesome! It was like the offspring of a cow and a hog.

I am always on the lookout for my first bobcat. I am really interested in trying the meat.
 
Sounds like they are ok to eat as long as its not your primary meat source and its cooked well. I agree bear does sound like it would be good.

Dog have been eaten by many now and through out history. I don't see much difference between them and coyotes.

I have and would eat a dog but would not eat any yotes that I have seen. The dogs raised to eat are kept just like cattle before they are killed. I don't and wouldn't butcher a dog myself unless it was a real need though.

Try skinning a coyote out.
That will kill any desire to taste one

I can skin anything and have on lots of different critters but I shot a big male coyote last winter and his coat was really nice. I decided to skin him. That is the first and last coyote that I will ever skin. I can and have eat a sandwich while gutting a gut shot deer. Just never bothered me, but the smell of that coyote while I skinned it was enough for me to say never again.

Way I figure it, if a vulture won't even eat a dead coyote, I ain't got any business eating it either.

Is that true...a vulture wont eat a yote? I was wondering about it. I shot one last spring. It just lay there. Never did see anything get on it.

One time in my life, I saw vultures standing over a dead coyote. They weren't eating it and it appeared that they hadn't ate any of it. All the ones I have killed where I could monitor them laid there till they rotted.
 
Had a second cousin who was a POW and in the Bataan Death March. Said they ate every thing that came across the compound. Dogs cats monkeys ects. I bet a coyote would have been a good meal.

I've killed 6 here. All 6 have rotted or been eat by the maggots. I can shoot a skunk or throw deer parts behind my barn and vultures will be on it in less than 2 hours.
 
I've heard of people eating Mountain Lion too. They say the back straps and loins are great. An old man near me, cooked a bobcat once, and a guy I worked with ate some and liked it.

I've ate bear. It was good. That's as far as I've ventured. I've heard bobcat and mountain lion is good but don't know if I could get past the fact I was eating a cat.

Have you ever had Chinese food? You never really know.
