Eating predators?
« on: January 16, 2010, 12:03:00 AM »
Hey folks just a quick question. Anyone hear ever eaten any of the predators they have killed? And I don't mean Bear. I am talking about Coyote, Wolf, Fox, Bobcat etc. If so how was it? Thinkin of giving predator hunting a try and figured I would ask and see if they was good eats.

Cats are good.  Eaten several.  Never eat the liver of any though, especially dogs, as there is a protein or a vitamine that will poison you.

Mountain lion several times, and bobcat at least once.  Both are very good in my opinion.  White meat which is very much like eating lean pork.  Never have been either hungry enough, or brave enough to eat coyote or fox.  I know of a couple of guys that have and they seemed to enjoy it.

I've had bobcat. I found it to be a little dry.

Cougar is tasty. Dog would make a fine meal, just don't ask me to eat it.  I would if hungry enough, I just haven't been there yet.

Lion is tops.  I wish I would have roasted and eaten some of my wolf.  Wasn't thinking about it at skinning time as I was hoarded by whitesocks.  Later I looked at a piece of flesh when I was cleaning up the skull, it looked and smelled alright and got me thinking albeit too late.

When I was in the Army, I went to Korea for a thing called Team Spirit. We did drills with ROK Army. Anyway, I ate some of the food there. I even ordered some Dog.. Nothing like fresh mutt..

The lady at the place I had it at, even walked outside and killed & butchers the dog for me.
Now I haven't had Yote or Wolf yet. But I would try it, Just to see how it is.

Not my Jindo!

 

Dog has long been eaten on this continent. I would double-check that 'liver poison' thing, I have never heard of such. Liver is too good to waste!

The only animal liver that I know you cnnot eat is Polar Bear liver. It has too much vitamin A and is toxic to humans. This info comes from old US Navy survival training booklet.

Ate the coyote in my avatar. I described it as "not horrible". It reminded me of dry, over-cooked beef roast from an old cow or bull. I like almost everything but won't eat another coyote unless I need to.

When I lived in MT, an "associate" of mine went to coyote shoots (hides were bringing high dollar then) and begged off the backstraps of the yodel dogs.

He made sausage of them (mixed with other meat trimmings of course) and tried to sell it commercially...he tried to bill it out as "recycled sheep"...but I don't think it ever caught on.

Given the spices and other "trim meats" you couldn't tell it from other sausage...  :)

Shot a fox in heat once...like workin on skinnin a skunk. Couldn't consider eating that... heard lotsa folks down South eat possum... thought about it till I seen one crawl outa the s. end of a dead horse facing north in a ditch...

Tex-Mex from Cleburne, Texas says on coyotes: "Make tamales out of 'em....nobody will ever know".  LOL I love that! Bobcat, yes...coyote...only at gun point! Killed, and skinned too many of 'em......hoooooweeee.

Mountain lion yes. Bear, yes. Dog, no. I've seen too many dogs eat crap to think about eating dog!
