That is a nice cat and my hat is off to you. Not many are killed without assistance from hounds. They are very good to eat, much better than deer. It's a tossup for me, mtn sheep or big cat, which one is the best game meat. Anyway, if you did not get a trichinosis test on the meat, make sure you THOROUGHLY cook it before you eat it. Bear and cat both can carry trich. Some folks a few years ago in Idaho got it from mountain lion jerky.
