    I'm sorry New Jerky gun laws suck.
    I was out hunting a few years back had a deer in the back of my jeep wagoner and my black powder flintlock rifle laying against the passenger seat plus I had been drinking with the guys. I was headed home leaving a town just outside Portland called Sandy and got pulled over for speeding. The State cop saw the rifle and didn't notice anything else. He kept asking me if it was loaded and I explained to him it was a muzzle loader and how it worked. He must have asked me 5 times but no law against having any gun rifle or pistol in the vehicle.
    Ha, he didn't even notice the deer in the back, which was properly tagged.

    I tagged a deer last year. He ran out into the road and bounced off the side of the stupid azz sonata I have to drive. Last I saw him he was running around looking to tag someone else.

    They put hunting seasons on alot of animals including mountain lions for a reason. Sometimes they just have to be killed because with over population certain animals can become a nuisance in populated areas. Like wolves here in Wisconsin, there is no reason they should have reintroduced them. Our ancestors took years to kill them off for a reason and now we have to try to do it again. They are fun to hunt though.

    They used to be able to hunt bear and cougar here with the help of Dogs but the
    libturds in Portland (who controls the votes in the state) got it passed that you can't uses dogs. So we now have an over abundance of both bear and cougar and both have been coming into city neighbor hoods and school grounds now.
    I say they can eat all the libturds they want and the more the better. If any of them werento come running over to me I'd tell them dudes your on your own this pistol is for mine and my wife's protection, get your own.

    We can use dogs here for racoon, bobcat, fox, coyote, and bear. Not supposed to for wolf but sometimes the dogs get confused, that is to bad for the wolf.

    C/B did a good job of stirring the pot with this one. I think we all agree that predator animals are dangerous and look at a small deer or a child as food. A wild animal is awesome as created, we should try to respect them and understand that they are trying to survive like us. Look at Florida with snakes that people let loose when they got to be SCARY, damm my cat disappered???

    Bear are good eating. Sometimes they think we are, too.

    Cooked up and ate some bobcat last week. Frankly, if I hadn't been the one that butchered it I wouldn't have thought it was cat - it was more like a cross of wild hog (which is very lean) and, dare I say, chicken. A trapper friend of mine got it (a 45lb cat -pelt sold for $1,300) and wanted to know if they were edible, but he can't cook and his ol' lady wouldn't cook it for him.

    This past September a mountain lion came into my yard and caught and ate one of my cats. Just left the head, tracks and a worn spot in the lawn where it had licked up all her blood. Got so I wouldn't let my dog out to get his business done without me or my boy standing guard, locked and loaded. Tracks showed it had been back a few times until January....BIG tracks. Probably a young cat (they get pushed away from their mothers in the late summer/fall) weighing between 100 - 125 lbs. He'll grow into his huge feet, if he avoids me or my son.

    Our Fallon NV area got so bad with lions this fall/winter that it was crazy. Deputies shot two, and four others ate their way through more than a few dozen goats, not to mention some of our pets (dogs and cats) and other livestock.

    And just FYI to all the city folk who don't know better - mountain lions/cougars/pumas/catamounts, jaguars and leopards are known for killing just for fun. One lion here killed almost 20 goats in one night, eating only half of one goat. Nature has no morals.

    And a man can become fair game just like your goats.

    At Big Bend state Park , several times the mountain lions has grabbed a younger kid and tried to haul them off.
    The people got them back, but had to take the kid to the hospital.
    What would I do. I'd shoot the cat.

    Its like the Gators here on the lake. Do not feed them ! Period.
    If you do it will make them not scared of humans.
    Then the gator has to be killed.
    If I see one around the lake by the house.
    Hes gone. I will take care of it.
    I got 2 labs. ONe is very expensive.
    And I ain't giving a Gator a chance to get to him.
    And the rights belong to Me to protect my dog.
    Don't care what the State says.
    I've already complained to the Game warden to remove them.
    He didn't seem to hear very well. The gators have more rights than we do.

    Sorry but that was the wrong answer.
