My recipe is simple.

Toss varmint carcass in roasting pan/slow cooker/crock pot.
Chop up some carrots/potatoes/onions/celery/garlic/etc. and toss in with varmint carcass.
Season it like you would roast beef or meatloaf.
~350° until the bones pull free with little to no resistance.
Serve it up.

If you like it with BBQ flavor, pull it out of the roaster before it starts to fall apart, transfer to a hot charcoal grille, and finish it there.
I like a sticky sweet sauce on varmint. Bone Suckin' Sauce and ShowMe are probably my favorites.

I've heard of people doing the boiling thing, but I've never understood the purpose for doing it.
To my way of thinking meat and water only go together if you're making soup.

I've eaten coon grilled and it was not bad, fact is it was pretty good. Not sure if the guy who served it up did any other preperations orther than throwing it on the grill. I once fed my X calf fry's. It was something I grew up eating in Oklahoma. If you can get by the thought of it, it's really good. And after living in Louisiana, there are alot of foods prepared there that one would not think of eating like tree rats and the brains.

Louisiana is something of a culinary trendsetter. Catfish, crawfish, alligator, redfish... All were considered low class fare, even "trash", at one time. Not any more!

I had heard bobcat was good to eat. A friend killed and cleaned one. I remember the meat all being real pink in color. We cut pieces of it off and put on the grill with deer meat and had guests over to eat. We had left over deer meat but ALL the bobcat was gone!! It was really good! I was told since they typically only eat fresh killed meat that they are safe. All I know is it was very tasty! Has anyone else ever eaten bobcat?

Only at Chinese restaurants.

I read where Mt lion was good but was mostly white meat.
