Did they use dogs?
I called one one time coyote hunting is WA. I didn't shoot it because I didn't have license. It was a small one and young.0 -

Not "proper" hunting dogs. Yesterday morning, him and his two dogs were heading up on the hill to look for a missing goat. The cat treed when he (3 yo male) spotted the dogs.0 -
kill all the apex predators off and see what critters bloom in numbers and really annoy people 0 -
Nice
I hope they found the goat alive and well.0 -

Nope.....Cat killed the goat, and drug it up the hill. The goat's horns got wound up in the brush, and it was struggling with it, trying to get it unstuck.0 -

that's a good sized cat,, 0 -
Good job. Shoot 'em where you see 'em.
In Missouri( where we don't have cougars according to bunny cops), immediately call the local TV station so they can arrive before the MDC guys (bunny cops). That way, you're less likely to get a ticket for killing something that doesn't live here. The MDC would rather just drop it than push the issue with TV coverage.0 -
like the last pic, probubly one of the only times city cat meets mountain cat and it turned out good for city cat....... 0 -
Nice looking Kitty.
What type of firearm and what caliber was used.
I know they are not too hard to kill. I had a buddy who drew a Cat hunting License. He contacted a guide with dogs and asked what to bring. The guy told him a 357mag pistol or a rifle in just about any centerfire caliber. He took a Win 94 in 30wcf.0 -

A lever action 357 mag. carbine(Rossi?)loaded w/38 spl.
That tooth chart is cool. Interesting that the Fish & Game guy said that the cat was about 3 years old, and not quite fully grown. FYI the F & G took possession of the cat.by forgemonkey

I see one in my neck of the woods (NE Ola) on camera about once a year and neighbors have seen it by eyeball. Reg indicate it can be shot if it looks like it's going to hurt something. Have to call the Possum cops (bunny cops in your neck of the woods) if it's shot. It will get a bullet if I see it. I suspect Possum cops have turned some Cougars loose in Oklahoma but they will not admit such.0 -
That is just about a perfect rifle for a treed Cat. 0
