    Well, I made an assumption that pretty much most of you all would have known who he was. I've known about him since I was 12 (almost 20 years ago) when my dad told me about him, but I had never seen pictures. The couple of hunters I've met around my area also knew who he was. I assumed that most hunters had heard of him, kind of like how most of us gun people know who Jeff Cooper was.

    --Do you remember The history of JEDEDIA SMITH in the late 1700 early 1800 time?? he was, history says the greatest trapper and lone indian fighter and also, believe it or not --

    --My wifes Great/Great/Great/Great/Great grandfather and LOVED CALIFORNIA--

    There still is a need to hunt the big cats in some areas. That the local economy should get a boost from the fees paid by hunters is a bonus.
    Also, for information purposes, the meat of the cats (and most game animals in Africa) is eaten by the local tribes.

    Is that a snake? Never been snake hunting.

    I never intended to ever go snake hunting, but the fact remains, I have many times.
    Ont particular time, in the fall, we were cutting a path into so dense brush and in the process we opened it up to allow some sunlight in.
    On the way back out we found out that snakes were moving into the sunlight for warmth. It was very scary when we ran into moccasins (not the kind you wear on your feet) and we had to take several of them out so we could exit the woods.
    That night a front came through, the temps dropped and the snakes were gone.

    BTW, I too thought the cat killing was a waste, but those were different days, so I pass no judgement.

    BTW, I am also not a fan of hunting big cats for trophy nowadays. If killing them in the course of defense or protection of self and property, I have no qualms about it.

    Expect that most of you who are so adverse to the killing of "big cats" never have been threatened by one (either directly you, some other person, or your livestock, etc.) The Texas Dept of Wildlife released several mountain lions in the Eastern panhandle a few years back. There was no media coverage of it, they kept it very quiet. The purpose was to reduce the deer population. While it is still seldom that one is seen, they are around. Three (that I know about) have been noted in Deaf Smith County (primarily farmland) in 2007.

    Two, a female & her cub, ran the cattle over a 5 wire fence on three different occasions about a month ago. They are definitely in danger if they are spotted around there again.

    [8D]-Wtroper,your logic is, of course apropro', but how many LEOPARDS do you suppose have killed cattle in TEXAS??
