My neighbor has sighted a large cat on the edge of our property this morning. It was either a bobcat (most likely) or an eastern cougar (maybe). It screamed and scared her and her dog. She saw a light tan colored cat similar to the color of a deer. Any ideas as to a defense round for this critter? I figured a rifled slug from my 870 would take care of business. My major concern is our son who is 16 months and just the right size for a meal. Neighbors have lost at least 2 cats so far. Mods, please move if not the proper forum.
