    Would you shoot a mountain lion

    The TC pic of the mountain lion chasing the deer got me to thinking about shooting one. Would you guys shoot a mountain lion if you were deer hunting here in Texas?

    I would as our landowner wants all varmints shot on site as he has lots of livestock. But part of me thinks it would be super cool to just see one in person. I’ve only seen one my whole life (50 years).

        I want to shoot one, I have heard the meat is delicious. So if i ran into a mature one i could ID as a male I'd probably shoot it

            1 yes and get a full body mount. Now, if i had the opportunity at a second one at some time no on that one.

                It’s cool to see one Texas or even get video or pics. The shoot right away logic comes from extreme fear.

                      I would and would be super excited if I could with a bow.

                      Probably not many Texas mt lions that have been taken by bow, at least in recent history

                      And yes I would be slightly scared of a cat bigger than a bobcat that could kill me

                        I'm not afraid of elk but if one walked out at my buddy's ranch in W Texas, I'd shoot it right away.

                        The lion would make a heck of a trophy and sightings are very rare in our area. If one popped out, I'd take a shot. No doubt.

                          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'd be sh****n' bricks... Talk about target panic! I'd be afraid to make a poor shot... That cat would cover those 20yds and be up my 12' tripod in a heartbeat!
