Actually, it is about the same. The two families are very close in their actions and habits.
Honestly, the taste fits in right in between chicken and pork.
The meat is red, but cooks out white or barely pink.
Same texture as chicken or pork chops.
Really it's the best meat I have ever eaten. Hands down. The best.
And I'm from Louisiana and I have eaten just about everything. Armadillo, possum, coon, nutria,snake,gator,various birds, squirrels, etc. etc. etc.
I am fully aware that when I hunt these animals, I can be eaten. That is why I actuallly go with no gun, no dogs, no partner, just me and the lion.
There is alot to be said about leveling the playing field. Definitely makes hunting more exciting.
By the way, there are over 500 cats taken from Colorado every year. This keeps the populations down and keeps the deer population alive.
Without culling of the animal, the deer population, even more, the big horn sheep population would suffer drastic effects. We have seen this before in this state.
By killing some, we're saving the over all population of lions, sheep, deer, etc.
