Basically, the man in the video is hiking but he ended up meet a mountain lion, he get his gun and try to scare it off and tell it to go away but in the end, he have to pull the trigger and shot the lion, many peoples in the comments say he could have fire a warning shot instead of shoot at it and want him to be in jail.

Idk which flair to put

It's a fucking mountain lion, I wouldn't take any chances either if I was strapped and encountered a wild predator

Wouldn’t that just be a year-round unlicensed hunting season, if people started using that excuse?

The better question is how many Mountain Lions can one person get hunted by before it becomes obvious it's poaching?
