I have two friends that have killed lions and one of them I was actually on the hunt when he killed.

Both were by guides of the Piney Valley Ranch out west of Vail. They always use dogs and snowmobiles after finding tracks to find and tree the animal. I'd say there's not a whole lot of sport in it, but I definitely wouldn't want to be calling one.

I did get to try one of the cats as well. We made Mountain Lion chili a few years back for a Super Bowl Sunday and it pretty much tasted like pork only a little bit firmer. It was white meat and if I didn't know it was lion I would have guessed it was pork.
