Seems like a waste of a beautiful animal, but I understand the need to control the population.
I am not impressed with people who kill ONLY for the fun of it. Hunting for meat, I have no problem with that.
Do you eat beef?
Chicken?
Do you have a leather chair, belt or jacket? What about shoes?

And we will shoot a dog chasing cattle...if we don't know the dog. We know our neighbors..and they know us. We ALL know...if you have a dog that chases livestock...it's probably going to get shot eventually.
I actually go hunting coyotes, bobcats for fun. I'm not out to impress you, or anyone else.
He had Cougar steak for dinner, I wish he would send me some!
I’ve never had it.
I am told it’s pretty good eating, it should be, the big cats eat several deer a month.

He will probably put the hide on the wall, at $7K per hunt he probably is not wealthy enough to make a coat.
He should hunt them in Nevada, much less expensive and a shorter drive.
