A shame he was only armed with a camera. A rifle would have done better.
Where I live there are bobcats and an occational Florida panther and I once saw a Lynx.
They are a great way to lesson the rabbit, wolf and cayote population and are quite beautiful to watch walking around my airpark.
Why kill them?
Seems a little extreme there pal.
Here ya go (had to find the one with the picture of the lad and his kitty).
Easy to tell the tourists when someone drives through town with a cat tied to their truck or car roof — BIG EYES!

The 14-year-old from Anaconda was hoping to bag his first elk on opening day Sunday. Instead, he found himself face-to-face with a large mountain lion.
Why would you want to shoot it? Is it threatening civilians? Is is any good to eat? Or is is because it’s alive and furry, therefore you have to kill it? Before you flame me, I eat deer and any other wild thing that is put on my plate. If you are hunting for a trophy, you are a pig.
I like the way you think. There are evidently still a few folks around that made this “a Nation of riflemen”.
