The main reason I'm not an active hunter is that my son's in Germany and my wife and I have the lower metabolisms of old age. Hard to eat a whole deer, anymore. And danged if I'm gonna do the post-shooting work of cut-and-wrap and give the meat away.
I've seen cougars. I could bait one in, close here to home. I know from experience they're tasty, just as the old mountain men claimed. But a buddy of mine had money trouble and I bought his cougar skin for the taxidermy fee and it hangs across the back of the couch. So, I don't need to shoot one. Were I in the sheep and goat business, I'd have a different attitude.
