Yes that's pretty much what I have heard from a couple of folks that had tried it. I hunt out west a lot and have had many opportunities to cat hunt but since I wasn't sure about eating it since I had never had a chance to try it I declined. As I said previously, I just can't get myself to pull the trigger on an animal unless it has been an aggressive predator to livestock or a nuisance like yotes and not eating it. Guess I'll look around for next year and see if I can find myself a good cat hunt! Thanks for the answer guys!
