Unless one tried to attack me I don't think I could ever go kill a cougar or bobcat just for the fun of it.
It's like the guys who just go out to kill coyotes for fun of it and not even use the animal for anything.
It's one thing to have live stock to protect, but it's wrong in my opinion to just kill um for fun without using the hide or any part of the animal.
I've always been tough to when hunting, you use the animal you took down.
There's talk of putting bounties on coyotes and bobcats at my camp. The president doesn't like them eating fawns and Turkeys.

I'm guilty of smoking a couple coyotes...
We have instructed all of our members to shoot every coyote and bobcat we see.
I found big cat tracks and piles of bones while walking around lake darbone several years ago. A lot of people don't believe me when I tell the story
