I didn't want to hijack the thread titled first bobcat, so I started my own thread.
I'm in the camp of not eating Predator meat. Bobcat, coyote, and mountain lion. I'm not sure why, but that how I have always felt. That might change if I were a subsistence hunter in Alaska. But my question is, is a hunter required to preserve the meat or be guilty of wanton waste? Legally, ethically?
Assume this could differ from state to state and possibly buy species. I'd be interested to hear what the rules are in your state. I will try to research rules in Arizona. I am told by other hunters that coyotes can be left where they fall. But I have not read that in the regulations.
