357 for cougar
i just arrived in japan for my current duty station and when i get back to the states i was thinking about doing a cougar hunt and was wondering if a 357is enough to quickly dispatch a cougar? i know it will kill one but i just want to make sure it would be an ethical thing to do, i want a quick, clean kill.

RE: 357 for cougar
Awhile back i talked to a guy who is avid mountain lion hunter here in AZ and he swears by a 22 hornet. he trees them with hounds and pops them with a 22 hornet. If a 22 hornet will do it Id imagine a 357 magnum will do it twice as good. but shot placement is everything
