Do California game regs allow bow hunter to carry a sidearm for Cougar protection?

Oregon does now...

[vash]

no side arm allowed. lake sonoma is a state park too...so double "no firearms"..state park with a pig problem.

if that cat attacks me..i will scream, pee, and stab it with arrows..

[Rikao4]

and once residing in his/her tummy..
you will hear..
you right..'they taste like chicken'

Hopefully not in that order ..............

[ODDJOB UNO]

the "competition" has just moved in. enjoy!


and yes i am staring at my calender hourly for when i can pick up my very gently used smith and wesson performance center .44mag V-COMP 4" barrel stainless.


gonna let the kids lug around the 6" 629 and stretch their leg a couple of inches.

That's a beautiful animal but I'm not sure I would want to share hunting space with him.

I guess knowing he's around would keep your senses sharp.

It is more likely you are struck by lightning than being attacked by a Cougar. There is only a handful of people who are attacked with only one dead / year on average:

Mountain Lion Attacks On People in the U.S. and Canada

Lightning Fatalities, Injuries, and Damage Reports in the United States - National Lightning Safety Institute

It also is more likely you will hurt yourself with that handgun you carry "for protection".

Hunt on!

Unless you live in a lighting strike area or an area with a known Mountain lion population...then the stats are a little different...

well since az and florida have the highest numbers of lightning strikes...........i guess when i see a storm i will seek cover. about the biggest NO BRAINER aside from......................NOT POINTING MY OWN SPOON AT MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE!


AD's(actually they are not accidents-its pure STOO-PIDITY!) happen to PURE IDIOTS! not those of us that have grown up with them, been professionally trained with them, shoot competition and those of us WHO CARRY EVERYWHERE/ANYWHERE WE PLEASE, CONCEALED!



when yer hunting by yerself ......................3 things will change the entire enchilada.................1) bear poo/tracks/bear kill piles 2) kitty poo/kitty track/kitty kills buried..............and TERADACTYLS!



and for all of the above.....................ALWAYS BRING ENOUGH SPOON!



i wouldnt think twice about blasting the hell out of that kat or any kat i came across. especially if i had a bunch of kids back at camp.



wanna see 'em up close...........................GO TO A FREEKING ZOO!



and the wonderful thing about living here............................its year round open season on kats. for the measly azzd sum of $14 U.S.D. any weapon,any method.



you obviously have never been on or around a ranch in yer life. if i nailed a kat anywhere near a ranch..............they damn near would give me the key to the town, have a parade for me, and LET ME ROLL IN THE HAY WITH ALL THE RANCHERS DAUGHTERS!

Vash, as the Cougar has you by the throat, & you feel the blood leaving your carotid arteries...keep in mind: I was more likely to die by lightning!

[Noah930]

I wouldn't worry 'bout it too much. It's probably just one of 'em crazy ground squirrels dressed up in a leftover Halloween costume. Hunt on, I say.


Cat's probably thinking: My secret ambush spot for Chinese food!

[aigel]

LOL - you guys are paranoid. I bow hunt during general season and don't bother with a hand gun. Only reason for me to take fire power are two legged predators (i.e. areas dense with questionable desert occupants or cannabis gardens ...)

I do think that you should be able to carry a handgun with open sights during bow season. Not for the 4 legged predators though ...

And as a final note, pick any freak accident in place of the lightning. It was just to illustrate that I wouldn't worry about it due to statistics ... I realize that FEAR can't be taken away by statistics. You guys are just a little too afraid.

[9dreizig]

VERY COOL PIC!!! I wouldn't worry too much about him however, I'd be more concerned about a wounded pig..
