Mark Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Senator Bill Stouffer, R-Napton has introduced SB 738 making it legal to kill a mountain lion in Missouri. Period!!! No need for the animal to be a threat to humans or livestock. Only stipulation is that the remains must be turned over to MCD within 24 hours. LOCK AND LOAD!! LET'S GO MOUNTAIN LION HUNTING!!

Mark Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 I don't even own a gun - just being sarcastic! But I'm guessing there are lots of yea whos getting ready for some big game hunting in Missouri.
MoSportsmen Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 As I read it looks like it has gone to commitee so I am thinking it has not passed yet. I do have issues with some of the way the MDC does things, I do not believe the MDC has or will ever "stock" cougars in the state, mostly the MDC does right by us and our wildlife. We have arguably the best conservation system in the country. We do not want to start any presidence of our POLITICAL leaders setting wildlife laws. I signed the petition. Tom Messing about in boats
Mark Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 I have to agree that our Missouri Conservation Department does a great job for the most part. How many government agencies can we say that about?? IF the cats are a threat to humans or livestock, then the threatened person should have a right to shoot them. But if the few cats we are talking about are hiding deep in the woods and not hurting anything, let them be. They are kind of like bears, we have a few but who ever sees them.
MoSportsmen Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 The MDC has not charged anyone with anything as far as killing a cougar, even though I know of one in particular that was probably hunted down. Even that one was claimed as and ruled "self defense" ......that being said, as it stands now you can shoot a cougar within reason. Making it allowed for any reason opens up a whole other can of worms. Tom Messing about in boats
Stoneroller Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Shame on MDC!!! SHAME!!! "Conservation" Dept. Laughable mt lions might eat their precious elk that they insist on reintroducing, even though elk aren't making any attempt to do so on their own, but mt lions are.
