I was considering going out West for a mountain lion and Mule deer (if I can combine them) hunt and took alot of flack from my hunting buddies! Still though it was what I expected from them. It was the same old: Why do you want to hunt them? Don't they tree them? Don't they use dogs to track them and the infamous I don't want to hunt and kill what I can't eat answer! Now take into consideration these guys have never been out of our home eastern state to hunt before, none of them have killed anything but whitetails before and add in the fact that when they hunt deer they do so with bait (its allowed in our state) and also with well organized deer drives. So you can see why I don't think I should pay attention to them. I have been caribou, bear, boar and deer and want to add to the list and to the trophy room. I think that when other hunters start questioning cetain hunting methods it hurts and divides hunting as a whole (as long as its legal) I am also a part time taxidermist and this also furthers my reasoning for wanting a big cat. What is your thought on this. Responses apprietiated, Thanks
