Y'all talking about cougars or panthers?
That's a good size cat. Where was that at? I was under the impression smoking one was a no no in Louisiana unless it was a threat. I say that with no authority and little confidence in the statement.

You're correct that cougars are a no go in La, but I'm pretty sure 17 is legal!
I saw a florida panther in the wild, 1989 hunting season. This occurred on a 1 square mile of untouched forest/big woods (school board land) we leased for hunting. I was still hunting a north/south path we cleared dead center of the forest and 2 does trotted across, then came the panther maybe 1 or 2 minutes behind the does. I was hunting with a 44 mag scoped handgun, the cat never detected me. It was awesome, a thrill to see the panther. I guesstimated its weight at 75 to 100 pounds.
This was in Dolorsa MS, 15 north up hwy 61 from Woodville. We also had approx 1000 acres of thick 10 year old cutover, had at least one bear that lived/roamed in the cutover. I spotted its tracks frequently while hunting the cutover, but never saw the bear.
Don't tell MS Game & Fish about this == they will have you committed as they swear there are NO panthers in Mississippi!!
It took them 20 years of 12 footers eating dogs in the Pearl and Ross Barnett before they decided maybe, just maybe the alligator population needs a little pressure.

Not trying to sound like a snowflake , but what's the point of killing one? Especially in the middle of nowhere. Are you going to eat it ? No. What a waste. They do help keep the deer and hog pop down.

The first one I don't have much doubt about. It's bigger than my palm. I was kinda curious to get opinions on the second one.
