Mountain Lion
Mike Yancey:
Just got back from my third try to take a New Mexico Mountain Lion and got a dandy this time.
Took this huge tom with a Southern Mountain rifle that I built with a 45 caliber A weight Gain Twist Colerain barrel shooting a conical bullet. Great hunt and we had some steaks out of the meat tonight and it was out of this world good.
WhistlingBadger:
Nice score! Did you hunt it with dogs? Spot and stalk is pretty tough with lions! ;D
Hawkdancer:
How big is that cat? My guess is over 8 feet, tip to tip! Nice hunt!

Gimlis Ghost:
Never thought about any kind of cat being edible till I read of a service in New York State that supplies meat from euthanized zoo lions to certain ethnic groups who require lion meat for their coming of age ceremonies.
I suspect mountain lion meat would raise a man's testosterone level.
Of course during the closing days of WW2 starving German civilians prized domestic cat meat, which they called "Roof Rabbit".
PaulN/KS:
Congratulations Mike. That is one big mountain lion Sir. :OK
I'd heard that the meat of those is supposed to be very good, glad to hear it's true.
