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????????
