Nice cat! I'd love to harvest a cat like that some day. Let me ask a "stupid" question... Do people eat lions or just simply a trophy? I know sounds dumb but honestly I just don't know.
Absolutely eat the lion. I had my taxidermist ask if he could have it and so I tried one blackstrap and wish I had kept more of it. Was very good. If you decide you want to kill a mountain lion let me know I can hook you up with some great people who will help you get it done.
