This is one of the few meats in this country that I haven't had the good fortune of trying. I've hear it called "Rocky Mountain Chicken" and several other common names because it was said to be so good. The reason most people won't eat carnivore is because of biomagnification (which is why we are told box terrapin is inedible because they eat poison mushrooms) but some people eat wolf and other carnivores.

These guys cook up some lion backstrap. The video should start at 2:30 where they start prepping the meat. I have never seen the show they have but it seems it's more about the preparation and eating wild meat than it is hunting.
