"Exactly. I'm sure unloading a mag of 180gr Golden Sabers into the big cat would of stopped the attacks."

In California you would be prosecuted for killing a protected species.

Even though cougars are protected in CA they’d have a hard time prosecuting you for shooting one that was attacking pets or livestock on your property.

Last year there was a cougar along the front country between Glendora and the Pasadena area that killed several pets. Finally it was spotted one night in Arcadia and the Arcadia police killed it.
