x2... And don't forget to wear your Nomex skivvies!

No! I've had that chance twice now.

All right a new debate. This is so much better than the AR and always a spike threads. Dont stop now, lets keep it going.

LP-Just "different strokes" I guess.

Mountain Lion on the Half Shell



Tamales, thank Goodness we don't have any

Come on Roy! You left out the most handsome devil ever hunted down there.

Yep and his 800 lb Javi

Nice job Roy.

Yeah I think we all get softer hearted as we get older. Since I moved to town in the early nineties I have live trapped over seventy coons and two grey fox in my back yard. I load them in my truck and haul them back to the country and turn them loose. Hopefully they will still be around when my grandkids get old enough to hunt them as hard as I did as a kid.

Cats are particularly hard on the bird population. No soft spot here. Cats, Coyotes, and most definitely cougars get terminated.

I'm a predator they are predators it only makes sense to eliminate as much competition as I can.

Mike, You photo Smile just like killer does, Ya old sourpus

I was smiling

Should have known that would be your response

One of the young single Troopers in Grayson County has a pet Bobcat he got as a kitten. He brings "SIG" to the office every once in a while. Wife gets to play with SIG.....She says SIG is so cute and funny. Has been declawed and it's losing baby teeth and perm teeth working their way in...
The Troop was in Austin on assignment awile back, and I sent a ransom text about kittynapping SIG.....
He failed to see the humor.....
Don't remember if SIG is a He/She or It

Hey 7Mag,
What happened to the "kitty" on your web page? Pretty cool having a pet bobcat.

I know a guy that had one as a pet for quite a while. It though it was a dog.

Shot by the ex wife, got out and couldn't retrieve it, so dead kitty.(BTW not my ex wife the owners ex)

Well dang them ex's anyhow.

This kind of rubs me wrong. Has it been researched and concluded that birds these days are experiencing a greater mortality from cats? Or are you trying to justify predator hunting? There is a natural balence of life after all. I don't know much about predator populations in TX so I'd like to learn something if possible.

I'm with you on this one. God created the entire eco-system and every critter within it has it's place and function. Including us humans.

That said, if you like predator hunting just say so. You don't have to justify it in the name of saving some birds. I'm not against any hunting or taking of legal game. I just don't feel the need to kill every bobcat, mountain lion or coyote I see. Nor do I begrudge someone that does. Personally, i like seeing them while I'm hunting.

Besides, if all the predators were eliminated we'd be over run with bunnies. Then we'd all be p.o'd that the bunnies were hogging the corn under the feeder. Then we'd have to start killing all the bunnies. And let me tell you, if you thought hogs could reproduce just wait 'til the bunnies take over.
