I probably wouldn’t. I don’t kill bobcats anymore either. Cats are too expensive to mount IMO. I’m starting to regret spending money on taxidermy, well any taxidermy that wasn’t a whitetail deer.
I would not but I’m sure that puts me in the minority.
On second thought, if I couldn’t get a picture I might have to shoot it just to prove I saw one. Otherwise every time I said I saw a mountain lion I would hear it was just a bobcat or a yellow dog.
I want to shoot one of the plethora of elusive black panthers that are running rampant all over East Texas
“” There was one killed on our lease before I got on it. I keep a side arm with me and a rifle at all times when I am out there.”
This kinda stuff makes me chuckle, I have been running around ML country my entire life, never ever had a problem with them
Now weirdos and wets different problem, we have had people problems never cat problem
It's becoming engrained in people's minds that stuff is out to get them.. Hence concealed guns in Churches, people worried about human trafficking, and a slew of other things with odds so small of ever happening it's crazy.
Mostly due to the media pushing crap.
Forbid people worry about stuff where they are 10,000 times more likely to get hurt like driving bad (fast/cell phones etc) or walking at night in town, or climbing a tree 15' to hunt.

You have to wonder how many folks carry a gun when hunting because they think it will keep them safe from hogs or lions but don't wear their fall harness when in the stand...

Not a rant truth
I have folks come packing major heat scared witless about hogs
Mountain lion bulls, mad cows, you name it, nothing like walking in the kitchen and
Finding some fool pulling out a glock showing it off talking about
Why they pack , and me telling them to take it and lock it in their truck , they are far more dangerous than any thing else on the ranch
Now my rant is over
