Depending on the cut and age makes darned good table fare

These have "aged" too much for me. I've eaten the ones I catch. Have to think up a name for my new bait American Tiger? New Mexico Lion? It will work so good I'll market it in 5 gallon buckets!?

The lion I shot I ate the whole thing. Delicious.

Cougars are worth shooting if it were just for their meat; very good.

No different than a bobcat meat bait, and there's lots of that bait on the market, should make good bait.
