Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Aldeer General Forum Mountain Lion

Years ago I asked a DCNR chieftan what would happen if I shot a mountain lion.

"You can't do that!"

But we don't have any of them here. Y'all said so. If I shot one then it shouldn't be a big deal if we don't have them.

"You can't do that! There's no open season!"

So, you're saying we have mountain lions in Alabama.

"NO!"

Then I could shoot one if I saw one since it would be an invasive species.

"You can't do that!"

So, you're saying we have mountain lions in Alabama.

"I didn't say that!"


It was fun seeing his face turn red.


I asked the same thing about Canada geese that don't migrate and live year year-round. If they don't migrate, they're not migratory birds and shouldn't be protected as such. The f'king golf course honkers and neighborhood geese that chit everywhere and never get pressured shouldn't get protection. Mr. Wildlife Agency official disagreed on that, too.
