No..but it was a clean enough shot to kill it. Makes me sick. I might get "flamed" but imo, these aholes that decide to kill before trying darts or tranqulizers are nothing but a bunch of unlearned hicks too lazy to 'track' the animal should it run off after the dart. In our country now we must preserve the spotted-freakin'-owl, or some beetle or some stupid minnow type species. but we're suppose to believe that this mountain lion, had to be put down?? For what? oh, please....it was a mountain lion on someones porch, had they tranquilized it and took it into the wild, how soon do you suppose it would have come back...wild animals which have no fear of humans are VERY dangerous....killing it was the right thing to do! Libs and stupid people only care about the easiest thing to preserve
I keep a shotgun by the back door for Cougars and Bears that might wander into our yard.
Our property backs right up to the National Forest, so we have to be prepared.
