I understand the parent fear, but they do serve a purpose in natures checks and balance.I have roamed many trails from california to alaska and only captured a fleeting glimpse of these shy animals.

Are you serious? Do you realize what these animals do to humans and livestock? Do you have children playing outside during the day and you have to worry about a mountain lion coming on your property to eat them? Have you ever had one look you in the eye? I have. It is so scary. They serve no purpose in nature. They are an evil animal and I believe they should all be killed off. You explain to the families that have lost a loved one to one of these “beautiful” animals. Tell them how wonderful they are. Grow up people.

I wish people would let the State Wildlife Agencies in their state regulate the hunting of wildlife. They are experts and dont let emotions get in the way of common sense. I live in Texas but like the way New Mexico regulates their couger harvest. When the quota that was set for a certain area is meet, then that area is closed for the season.Hunting with dogs is the most effective way to hunt these secretive animals and is a good way of determining the gender and age of animals that dont need to be harvested. The states that the cats have not learned to fear people and dogs will always have cats that will cause problems.

I hunt but I never understood big game hunters and their desire to kill the biggest and most beautiful animals purely for ‘sport’.

Deer population control is one thing. Far as I know there are no population issues with mountain lions. If anything they’ve had to be reintroduced to the wild after we drove them to near extinction.

Sorry but hunters like this just give normal hunters a bad name.

hunting is all about controlling the population of wild animals to reduce the ways of unintetionally killing such as car collisions and also to help scientist and the state departments guestimate the population of the animals from the harvests, and in some states hunting is a way to feed the poor, where i live in georiga you give the deer carcass to the processor and he processes it and gives the meat to the needy and the poor, and there re some hunters like B. Kemp mentioned

I understand hunting somewhat, but killing such a magnificent creature as this just seems unnecessary and wasteful. I’m not sure what it is about killing wild animals that makes some people feel more powerful or more masculine or more in control, or whatever it is. Maybe someday humans can develop to the point where we can appreciate living wild creatures for what they are without feeling the need to kill them for bragging rights.
