Yes. Although mountain lion meat certainly isn’t as popular as wild game like whitetail deer or wild turkey, it is edible, tasty, and safe to eat when prepared properly.
The meat from mountain lions and other predators, like black bears, has long carried a stigma because these critters eat other animals, which brings unfounded concerns about taste and safety. In reality, mountain lion meat tastes great, it’s lean, and relatively easy to cook, says Luke Worthington, a Wyoming hunter, guide, and founder of the Wyoming Houndsmen Association.
Consider dividing meat into roasts, steaks, and ground burger. We recommend slow cooking roasts in a crock pot with carnitas seasonings to make tender tacos, or with barbecue seasonings to create pulled lion sandwiches. You can also marinate and grill steaks. But while you need to make sure the internal temperature reaches 165, be careful not to overcook lion meat as it can easily dry out and become tough.
