I’ve had mountain lion. Not bad. That said, if people would rather just collect the rug, I’m ok with that—it doesn’t have to be nose to tail with everything. When it comes to mountain lions or grizzlies, use a tranquilizer gun and release them in the SF Bay Area, Portland, Seattle, or Eugene—I’m cool with that too.
Amazing how white Mountain Lion meat is - and bear is so purple. Certain animals like cougars, coyotes, and wolves are different - but killing a bear to sell the gall bladder, or an elk just to take the rack is criminal.
I’m not interested in keeping taxidermy thriving, I love to hear new recipes.
After a decade in the Infantry, shooting animals isn’t thrilling. It’s food.
