The other White Meat

[fishleclair]

Well, Most trappers up here have tried it once, Some eat it all the time and I am going to give it a nibble tonight.....This here is a Lynx Hind End! Yup Lynx....

Gave 1/4 to a Friend who has had it many times and asked for some when I get em Fresh.

After prep


And in the pot

Looking good. My Mother In-law cooks the hind quarters from lynx,beaver and as of yesterday porcupine. I've tried the first two and they seemed ok.

My buddy Roger, years ago, told me a tale about a social cookout that he was attending. They were running low on meat and he had just came back from running his line. He had a bobcat in the back of his p/u that he had just skinned. He added the hind quarters to the grill and the folks were non the wiser.

No complaints to be sure. ;D

Looks like some nice lean meat. I'd give it a try for sure. ;D

I've ate cat tacos before when I was in Cozumel and it wasn't half bad. The waiter didn't tell me what "El Gato Tacos" were until I asked him after I ate it. It was just a regular cat though. I'd give lynx a try.

[prairiedoggin]

BBQ Bobcat isn't all that bad either, I'd like to try the Lynx

How'd it taste Fish? I remember an old trapper telling me how much of a bonus it was to catch a cat during the depression. He said the whole family was happy to come to the table.

Looks good to me . A local man here does a lot wildlife cooking expo's said bobcat was a big hit so I don't see why it wouldn't be good . He even cook skunk once .

[fishleclair]

OK gents


That Cat Hind 1/4 was some good eats for sure, Lean, stringy and easy to chew.....Tastes like Turkey, Brown meat Turkey!!!!! Cant wait to get more!!

[rhyla]

looks tasty. I've heard good things bout bobcat and lynx, never had the opportunity to try any though.

[lookout]

My wife has made lynx pot pie and the whole family loved it. As almost all strange things do.....tastes like chicken!

Ya right, but during the Depression how many ate their barn cats if cat is so good? I know both sides of my family were farmers and apparently they'd rather eat bacon grease and mustard sandwiches everyday for school lunches than gnaw on Ol Tabby's bones.

Could be just me but there's something innately wrong for me to think of eating the meat of an animal that eats meat. OR it could be the smell of cat piss and coyote's a**holes that makes me a little apprehensive and squeamish eh! Don't know for sure but there could be a connection there.

I feel the same way Mike. Anytime folks talk about eating cat meat it make me want to hurl.
I hate cats and the smell of cat piss and the whole eating meat fed meat doesn't sit well with me either. I'd eat anything if I was starving but I don't foresee any predator dishes being served here anytime soon.

i believe i would have to pass on that also there's to many other animals in the woods that i would rather eat

[watershedman25]

One of my boss's is an extreme outdoorsmen. When they camp they eat what they catch. He told me back in Oct. that they tried bobcat and it tastes just like cat pee smells. said he would rather have fox, , not sure myself, surely therenwould be something else to eat?

[rhyla]

what is the aversion to eating critters that also eat meat? that seems to be a common theme I've seen repeated by various people on several forums but I feel like I'm missing something 'cause I don't get it.

[minktracks]

Yep, looks great!! Break down the muscle tissue on different meats and meat is meat. And you know what tastes like chicken? Chicken.
