Hey Stink, want some of this??

It's presumed to be a Western Cougar which is not protected in Georgia, considered an exotic and no regulations to disallow harvest.
Genetic testing is to be done to determine weather or not it was a Florida Panther or an Eastern Cougar, which will carry heavy fines.

yeah, thats what I was wondering about, I figured they were protected, but like you say, if it was a non native species, its fare game . Talking about bobcats, last week a freind of mine had a bobcat attempt to climb the tree that he was siting in, waiting on a deer, notice I said the bobcat attempted to, .270 WSM took care of the climbing cat, he did tell me he had to cut his hunting short that day because of something about changing his pants
