We have a lot of Cougar here, I am 4 miles on the north boundary of Olympic National Park in Washington State. The big Toms prowl the canyon just behind the barn, killed all of the neighbor's goats one night about 5 years ago. State trappers jumped it the next morning but it got into the park and gave them the slip.
Two years ago one of our livestock guard dogs jumped one behind the barn and chased it over the fence back into the park. Dog was missing for 2 days then came trotting down the road looking for home.
So, my 629 S&W often is in the holster whenever I am doing work behind the barn, near the canyon. Few years back one was down by the creek, dogs were going nuts. I wandered down there and saw just the tail as it slipped back into the trees.

That kind of mindset I’ll never understand but it’s becoming more common unfortunately. The back up and back down beta-think is not something that I can understand nor is the ability to prioritize recording the event over accurate rounds on target because his shooting was horrendous. If that was me that cat would’ve been dead before I remembered (under stress) to hit record.

This is pure gold on the neighborhood app. Lots of comments about how the poor puty tat just had fur babies in the area and it meant no harm so dont be shooting at it. LOL. I would have fired long before that dude. I'm sure this is in California or somewhere where they would lock you up unless you had scratches on you.

You can shoot them here no problem. If you call it in, the F&G officers are very friendly about it. Stock animals or personal safety, fire away.

I seen it on the TV, just need some dogs, run that cat up a tree, then hit that tree a few times with a switch and that will send that cat to the high country with his tail between his legs.
Take care

Any idea what State he was in, besides confusion?
Even the nature loving wife here said that thing needed shot as soon as it started coming toward him. Kitty language is not that hard to understand.

Goodness. Really ?
When you see an animal like that... (cat, wolf or bear...). and at the sight of you, it aint running away... Backing up is not the first thing you do. Of course not. First thing ya do is start video! I am guessing that he started videoing when he saw it...but maybe it hadn't seen him yet and/or hadn't shown any aggression? Could be. Rolling video on life seems to be SOP these days.

I am sure that the fellow only wanted to caution the kitty, not harm the endangered beast. They’re a looooongggg way from endangered. I’d love to kill a cat. That looked like a nice one.

I see three steps to this problem.... and it is a problem when an animal capable of killing a man is stalking a man!!! 1) Use weapon of choice and cause man killing animal to enter the next life. 2) Change soiled pants 3) Continue doing whatever you were doing before the encounter

Commyfornia Fired our head Fish and Game Director for winning a Lotto Ticket to take down a Nasty Cougar in Idaho Years back. The guy went to Idaho Out Side of Commyfornia's jurisdiction and shot and killed a known bad Cat. When he got back home the Animal Rights ChitHeads petitioned the State and had the Guy Fired because he was a Resident of Commyfornia and Killed a Protected Animal. Even Thou it was in a Different State it did not matter to them.

Do you really think he meant to just scare the cat, or just missed it?

Of course it is in California, the shooter just held up a liquor store the same way, backing out the door with a comb and a bottle of Old Harper...
