I've seen a large cat twice when walking to my stand or while hunting. Scary stuff.

Last time, I got my gun up after I realized what it was, but it was too late. Apparently I got off lucky because it's illegal to shoot them.

If you saw that monster, what would you do?
Is there any way to legally remove it from our lease?

Odds are if the thing wanted to attack you would never know what hit you. Thats scary!

Also illegal to shoot a person, except in self defense.

Had a friend in Montana who had one stalk him for two hours while he was bowhunting.

I have seen an alligator once while I was in the deer stand. Scared me to death to think I had to wade out, but I didn't shoot him. I would do the same thing with a cougar. No reason to shoot him unless he started moving your way. Let him walk and appreciate you just saw a ghost.
