Got to get me lynx, b'y! The biggest this trapper has seen in 5 decades

I watch the Meateater serries "Pardon my Plate" on youtube. They were eating different wild game and fish that were not traditionally considered worth eating. One episode they ate bobcat and said it was very good and worth eating again. I've never tried it. Don't even know if you legally could here in NB. Bobcat are covered on a fur harvesters permit but you have to apply for a draw, and last I checked you had to turn in the carcass of any harvested bobcat for study/ research.Not sure what would happen if you turned one in that was missing the back strap or maybe a ham.

Interesting. In BC they are furbearers, only requirement is you harvest the pelt if you kill one, but anyone with a hunting license can buy a tag and harvest them. They're probably open for trapping as well but I haven't waded into that life yet.

I've seen some videos where coyote was on the menu, including one episode of The MeatEater... I don't recall any of them wanting to give it a 2nd go. Meanwhile The MeatEater people are big advocates of the deliciousness of cat meat. Similar to pork apparently.

Locally know as Dim sum
 
The CO's got the cougar that had been stealing lambs out of my pen, after a couple nights of my trying.

In the end, the dog team treed it a couple hundred yards from my house. CO's took the head (skull used for comparative purposes), paws and tail (tracking training), and left the carcass in my quad trailer to dispose of.

An hour or so later, I get a phone call, asking if I had turfed the carcass yet, as there was a native guy in town would appreciate if he could come get. Said that he preferred the taste and texture, to about anything. No probs, all yours! Done!

Have seen only one cougar other than that one, out in the, more or less, wild. It was walking along the edge of a field as I drove by. In general they do a pretty good job of not being seen. Set up some trail cams though, and you might be shocked at what comes and goes!

Seen a few lynx around in Northern Alberta, and, a few bobcats around here in south central BC, but they are not thick on the ground at all.
 
#### three or four winters ago they were at their peak in their cycle, tracks everywhere and few good encounters. Don’t hunt them but would have been a gimme tag. Almost ran a pair over as it was chased by another onto the road, we had one cross right along the deactivation we were shooting into minutes before, watched two playing on the frozen crooked river, a few just crossing the road, couple hung up a few yards into the bush for a little stare down. Seen a lot of the years but that year was pretty nuts for lynx, was a year or two after a similar situation with snowshoe hares, an absolute plague of them! Sure are neat animals.
 
I’ve stripped some meat off a fresh caught cat a couple times and enjoyed it. The meat is such a nice color/texture.
I’ve never had the urge to peel meat off a coyote.

Hakarl. Made from Greenland Shark typically. If I ever go to Iceland I'll probably try it, but I'm in no rush lol

You’re smart to be not in a rush. Without a doubt it’s the worst thing I’ve ever eaten. You got to wash it down really quick with Brennivin to get the taste out. They like to see the expressions on the face of newcomers tasting it for the first time, lol
