Actually cats are probably the single biggest (by numbers) killing machines on the planet. And many of their kills are "because they can". They rarely eat what they kill.
Right, wild animals kill for no reason. Generally we are the only wild animals that kill for no good reason.
i hope you have a DoW tag for the cougar, and im fairly certain hunting wolves (and endangered spices) is prison time. Plus the crap you said about the radio collar is just over the top. you are the type of person the anti hunting crew in this thread should be flaming. it would be fun to find out where you live and forward this info to your Dept of Wildlife for possible poaching activities.
**Edit: your propping of dead animals in yards to freak out your neighbors is unsportsmanlike and just plain disgusting. You sir are a nitwit and i really hope the DoW investigates you and confiscates your vehicles, guns and throws your ass in prison.
except in this case it's quite acceptable to kill a predator.
Is it really ETHICAL to knowingly separate an animal from its food source like that? Are you trying to starve all the cute innocent animals to death?

That's a legal right, I wasn't talking about legality, but ethically. Legally you can do al sorts of crazy bollocks, that doesn't make it acceptable.
Domestic cats? That's because we have removed the need to kill by providing them with food, that does not, however, eliminate the killer instinct. Not the same as a wild animal out in the world having to kill to survive.

Ethically he had the right also. If you eat meat, you helping to sustain a business that exists just to kill animals. Chances are that animals have been displaced and killed in creating the power that is used to post on the internet or heat your home. Hell, even if you are a strict vegan, do you have the 'right' to kills plants to eat? Where does it end? Other animals kill, not just for food, but kills pests as well. Wolves will kill coyotes that are found in their territory, as an example. The OP may have used very human means to kill a pest, but really he didn't do anything that doesn't happen every day in nature already.
A valid point, However personally I don't believe that individuals should go around killing animals for no good reason, killing animals to eat is different.
Good shoot on the coyote, now go out and try to kill as many of them as you can.
Its fun to shoot them this time of year, and local farmers and ranchers just love for you do do it on their property (though I typically go to BLM land around here).
I am always hopeful that a cougar will come into my electronic call, but most of the time I just get the retarded coyotes.
I would love to see a really big wol...I mean coyote come into my crosshairs one day, a whole pack preferably. If they have radio collars, I will just have to make sure it gets thrown on a train or something going through, so it can appear it is migrating.
My cougar/coyote gun is a Savage .243/12ga combo over/under. If they come in real close I will use the 12ga barrel, but most of the time I am shooting the .243 with handloaded 55g Nosler Ballistic Tips.
If it is real cold outside, you can prop them up to freak out neighbors, like a friend and I did at his place one winter on a 20 below zero day -

Feral(by definition, wild) cat populations are destroying the songbird numbers in some areas. And they aren't killing just to eat. Cats domesticated or wild exist to kill shit. And eat some of it.
Unless its in self defense its not.
U mad?
See a psychiatrist. You're not a hunter but a sociopath who gives all sportsman a bad name.
exactly. 90% of his threads are "look at this critter I killed!" He's posted pics of how he's posed his "kills" (squirrels, iirc) before.
This guy has repeatedly expressed that he simply likes to kill--not out of use or necessity.
He's also admitting to a felony, the mods need to report him.

I don't know, I have not seen that anywhere. Most wild animals kill out of need (whether food or self defense or whatever) but I'll have to take your word on what you are saying as I have not encountered it.
I'm trying to find it, but I swear I read a study from Wisconsin dealing with their feral cat population. In that I think they tracked a cat over a couple year period and killed over 48,000 birds and mice. It was crazy.
You sure that wasn't Iowa?
Cuntweasles like this fuckstick do more damage than any PETA nut ever could to reasonable wildlife management and the honorable sportsman who participate. I hope some mod forwards his IP to BLM/DoW to investigate his illegal and immoral activities he describes.
And? I wouldn't care if he buttfucked the corpse and posted here to brag about it, he's doing all of us a favor by killing pests.
