Well, an Uncle-in-Law shot a mountain lion while working for the Forest Service. It was during the Depression, so he brought it back to the small town (50 residents!) that he was living in. They butchered it, brought some beer and vegetables, and "had a big cat feed." Bear tastes a lot like pork; of course, much depends on how it's fixed. Everything tastes like chicken if it's not beef or pork: stumps, rattlesnake, kangaroo, bat guano, barbed wire, even chicken. Long pig tastes like pork, or so I'm told.
