Interesting passage Dune .......

One bit confuses me when put against the photos posted.

Quote

If you kill the cougar, leave the scene intact and contact wildlife authorities immediately. Better yet, stay put and have a friend contact the fish and game department. Get the names and telephone numbers of any witnesses. If you see other hunters, ask them if they have had any cougar contact in the area that might corroborate your experience. Carefully note where you were standing when the attack occurred, where the cat was and other relevant locations. Mark these spots in some way that will not be erased by bad weather -- hunting season is a busy time for wildlife agents and it might take a while for one to reach you...

Seems these guys seem a little too proud of themselves to have been attack victims. So are the rules ignored ??

I look at those pictures and I still rather have the cats alive than the "Big Strong Manly Hunters". Now if they were holding similar sized deer that was about to be put into a nice stew and I was invited - now thats different

But see youse a big stud when you blow away some cougar. Wouldnt you want to be a big stud? Those things are tricky dangerous killing machines. So you need a big ol semi-auto rifle to spray away like a niki dweeb. Or a decent scoped rifle so you can snipe the dumb bastage from 500 yards. Of course cats are dangerous you should tree em first with your pack o dogs. Then walk up and shoot til ya hit. But of course even sniping you have to be quiet, so why not pay some guy who owns hunting place where you can blast away at a confused frightened cat from a safe place. Heard tell of one where the cat hid under a pick up and the intrepid hunters stuck their guns under it and blasted away like real men til that dangerous ol predator was kilt.

You may have a different viewpoint if you knew what you were talking about, Pooh.

LOL what do you mean I dont know what Im talking about? I like hunting as much as the next guy. But I dont think someones a bad arse just cause they kill a predator.

Perhaps the pictures were taken in celebration of killing the cougar that had been killing their livestock. It is a possibility...

Or maybe I am getting the wrong impression... you think you are a bad bellybutton when you kill a cute little bunny?

I personally do not partake in trophy hunting, although I did mount a head of the last elk I killed. Figured it was going to be wasted otherwise.

I enjoy hunting elk and deer, mostly (but not exclusively) with a bow. I can enjoy hunting with a camera out of season. 99% of the enjoyment comes from getting into a position to shoot.

After the kill, the fun is usually gone, and the work begins.

In the USA, 90% of the money that goes to animal conservation comes from hunters. The tag system keeps the number of kills controlled to what state biologists deem necessary to control animal population.

Oh, and the use of dogs for bear and cougar is outlawed in my state.

lol I have never killed a little bunny.

Same here I enjoy the stalk more then the kill. Nothing like getting in close as hell.

MrBlack if everyone was just like you on what would you base your superiority?

Sparks, I would imagine that these photos are not those of hunters who have killed cougars to defend themselves. These are hunters who bought tags to legally take the cougars.

MrBlack, neither your opinion nor your paycheck make you a superior being. Your attitude, however, marks you as an ass.

You're just now noticing that? (BTW Mr.Black, I make more money than you do, and I'm STILL an idiot.)

Ha! I make way less money than all of you fools, in fact if you figure in my tution I'm actually loosing money at the moment.

Now what on earth does income have to do with a mountain lion thread, anybody?

sorry I just got a little snap-shot in my head.

I'm invisionning, something like a new monty python bit.

Through the “hundred acre wood” comes Pooh, face camo'd out, lying on his belly crawling through the brush. slowly, carefully, quietly he sneaks up on the elusive bunny. Finally after stalking it all day, hot on it's trail for long hours, he slowly reaches out, with one final lunge, he touches it's tail and says "tag, you're it", then packs up his gear and skips home.

Do you eat hamburgers? Fish? Porkchops? Steaks? Sausage? Bacon? I'll let you guess where they came from

Since time began Man has killed for food, clothing, shelter etc.. We are this planet's most dangerous predator. With conservation programs today, hunters are the primary means of controlling animal populations. It's my guess that the men pictured with the dead Cougars are most likely hunters who have legally taken those cats.
