my brother traps them just for the pelts....but they are edible...people in the northern reaches eat bobcat and lynx both.

Really I would never have thought to eat one.

So you could make Dog food from them or do you just put the carcass back to nature?

I have always thought coyote would make great chicken food. I like the irony of it

When I was a kid, and someone was freaking out about doing some type of public speaking thing, my mother used to say, "if they kill you, they can't eat you." I guess that was supposed to be reassuring? With chickens - oh, yes, they can, and they probably will, too!

Yes they would, without any qualms. Cats too. Back when I was single and it was just me and the cat. The cat and I had an agreement: If we were ever starving, I got to have kitty stew. But if I died suddenly, and was not found for days, she could eat my eyes. The cat agreed to this, I think because she liked her chances

OFW!!!!

that's hilarious.

Thank you! I always had a couple friends who disagreed, and said their cats loved them and would never think of eating them if they died...I didn't argue the point. I know mine would, probably wouldn't wait for me to get cold.

People around here hunt and eat cougar. I always thought it would be gross. Bear is good if they have been gorging themselves on grass and berries. If you get them after a big salmon run they taste nasty. Mostly I like beat made into sausage or ground meat for spaghetti or chili.
