Revenge is a dish best served cold. And with a side order of sass, apparently.

According to my Uncle, nasty and extremely greasy.

My mother grew up in a West Virginia farming family, and my grandfather survived four years of WW-II in demolitions (blowing up machine nests). Anyway - all the kids were raised with guns, and "you shoot it, you eat it'. My uncle decided to shoot a crow. My grandfather caught him doing it, and forced all three kids to watch, as my uncle had to clean it, cook it, and eat it.

There's a reason why 'eating crow' is considered horrible. Scavengers tend to ALL taste bad, and in the case of some of them, they can be toxic.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

A coworker reports bobcat to be extremely tough and foul tasting. Says it was still tough even after six hours in the crockpot.

Depends if you run into a pack of angry, foul-beaked chickens who carry switchblades.

Well, he should have tried a proper barbecue with the bobcat, where you cook it at a "low" temperature for 20 hours, to the point that it falls apart.

Not that I've ever been inclined to eat bobcat, however. I don't want to hurt a kitty if I don't have to.

I wonder if the classic recipe for loon soup would apply? Clean one loon, place in a kettle with three boiling stones, cover with water, add salt, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Heat to boiling, simmer over low flame for 12 hours. Discard bay leaves. Remove and discard loon. Eat the rocks.

Cougar/mountain lion/whatever-you-call-it is well spoken of...

{For that matter, it seems to me that i've read that lion is tasty. There was a butcher shop in Buckhead that sold lion - as well as other exotic meats - back in like the 70s/80...}

I think he's going to try some added fat and 12 hours in the crockpot next.

As I understand it, the bobcat was trying to get to his stock . . . again.

So since he shot it . . .

He said the 250 pound (110kg) black bear he shot in his backyard last year was pretty good eating, though he wished he'd shot the big bear instead.

Kind of reminds me of the recipe for dorkfish. I don't remember it entirely, but I know it involved nailing it to a piece of wood, and marinating it in Worcestershire sauce before cooking, and when you were done, you'd throw away the fish and eat the wood.

You catch dorkfish with corn dogs.
