Mountain Lion Attacks Mature 160 Class Mule Deer
 

Got to share this for anyone who has not seen it. I watched it several times when I first saw it. If that lion can do that to a massive mule deer, imagine what it can do to a unsuspecting hunter. They have those here in Oklahoma in certain parts.

Is it legal to shoot cougers Oklahoma?
I don't think I could Not shoot that couger in the head.
That thing makes a coyote look like a small mouse.
JMHO

Pretty sure it is. I know many farmers who shoot them because they mess with their cattle.

We hunters kill our prey much quicker and cleaner. PETA folks should watch that video, and the one of the buck and the coyotes, before they talk about hunters being cruel. I'd take a bullet in the chest before having suffocating after having my face crushed.

I always knew their was a reason behind my not liking cats.

Totally agree..

Makes me want to watch my backside when hunting in Colorado for elk and mulies. I haven't seen one yet in the 6 years I have hunted there but they are always somewhere in the area.

I was yote hunting when I was stationed at Ft Carson, CO one year and had one come in 40 yds behind me and circle to my front. I poped a couple rounds in the air and left the area thinking i was gonna be dinner. The scary thing about them is you never know their there until the severing your spinal cord from your brain.

So long as this animal is the animal capable of taking down a 160 class buck there is no need to worry about taking down humans.
It's going to continue to forge and hunt and kill big game animals..
It's the old old cougars, young male cougars, and sick cougars humans have to fear..Those are the ones that will take advantage of people..But it would be a nice mounted on my wall all the same.
Actually both animals would..

OK so the next time I run into a Florida panthery I will ask it if it is an old old, young male or sick? IMO if eats meat I have an issue with it.

They are starting to show up on our lease. Hog numbers are way down. When you see a sow with piglets she only has 1 or 2 that is all she can protect. I wouldnt shot one on purpose but????????

So it eats meat and you have issue with it..
So shoot cougars for all I care...
What's this I wouldn't shoot one on purpose?? BS
Your gonna shoot them by accident?Pretty impossible now since there is a
,but, so there is premeditation..
Or just let them continue doing what they are doing and mumble about it under your breath or post online..
Or be a bitch and get somebody else to do the work for you..
You have balls, cougars are nothing but a vagina.
So pound them with bullets if cougars are devestating your hunting ground.
All I tried to express was this particular cougar ( of all the cougars in the
world) is the least likeliest cougar to attack a hunter.
I shoot them, not because of being scared of being attacked, or even think there is a remote possibilty of being sttacked..I shoot to save the biggame
population in areas I hunt..
In no way shape or form did I ever say cougars don't destroy hunting
grounds, or devastate big game animal herds..
I was replying to the initial post.. This particular cougar
possibly attacking an unsuspecting hunter?
But that comment you made is a foolish statement.. I wouldn't shoot one on purpose,but??
Just how would shoot a cougar without being on purpose,
Or do you just shoot, like you post...
From the hip..

6 years of hunting south central Co and the tracks are all over the place and I still haven't seen one. Thank Goodness they have plenty of deer and elk to eat. One evening after bagging my elk I was bored and figured I would just sit over a canyon to see if I could hear some bugling or see a few critters. Having tagged out I left the gun at the cabin and just had a knife on my belt. I sat there as the sun was getting lower on the horizon and heard some yotes light up on the other rim and then thought what if a lion came around. I decided that I would sooth my boredom back at the cabin. Lions have to be very stealthy since the tracks are there and we never see them. I don't even like house cats much less 150 pounds of death.
