Cooking bobcat

I'm going to be brining, rubbing, and smoking a bobcat next weekend. I've been talking about trying it for years, finally gonna send it when I've got a bunch of buddies in town for the outdoor show.
Good deal, let me know how it turns out.
 
Some people eat raccoons.
We ate them all the time growing up; because I was stupid,and young, I payed no attention and don't know exactly how. I do think it was parboiled, then roasted with carrots and potatoes, sweet or Irish. Delicious.
 
Coon doesn't taste like much of anything to me, but some people really like it. I skin them in the woods and leave the carcass for scavengers. The hide is much easier to tote without the coon in it.

I hear that you can sell the coon meat here for $10, I don’t think the hide has any value here.
 
I don't think it does here, neither. I take the hides for my own use.

I've heard people claim $20 for a big fresh coon here. There was a period years ago buying coons for meat go so popular buyers had to be particular they weren't getting roadkill.

I haven’t heard about selling road kill here but you had to leave a foot on the carcass here.
 
My dad trapped and any live coons he found he sold the meat to coworkers at the steel mill. He always left a paw attached so guys would know it was a coon instead of a possum. I think most guys smoked them on the BBQ pit. He sold them for $5 but this was 40 years ago.
 
I went camping with a buddy a couple of years ago and we brought one to cook. We seasoned it and put it on a grate over the coals. Every so often we would squirt vinegar on it like you do when slow cooking a pig over coals. We ate it with bbq sauce.

Basically treated it like a pig pickin. It was great.
