The Puma, also known as the cougar, mountain lion, or panther, is a large felid native to the Americas. It has the most extensive range of any wild terrestrial mammal in the Western Hemisphere, spanning from Canada to South America.
Pumas are highly adaptable and can be found in a range of habitats, including forests, mountains, grasslands, and swamps. In North America, they are more common in the mountainous regions of the western states and provinces.
While rifles chambered in .243 Winchester or .308 Winchester are popular choices, many Puma hunts involve the use of hounds, and in such cases, large caliber handguns or shotguns with slug rounds can be used at close quarters.
In many areas, especially in North America, hunting Puma with the aid of hounds is a traditional and prevalent method. The dogs pick up the cat's scent and tree it, allowing the hunter to approach for a shot.
While Pumas can be hunted year-round in some places, winter is often preferred because tracks are more visible in the snow, aiding the hounds in tracking.
The vast territories Pumas cover, their elusive nature, and the rugged terrains they inhabit can make Puma hunting physically demanding. The success often depends on the expertise of the guides and the hounds' tracking abilities.
Males are typically larger with broader heads. However, differentiating can be challenging at a distance or without a size reference.
The regulations on baiting Pumas vary by region and jurisdiction. It's crucial to familiarize yourself with local hunting laws before your hunt.
In regions where Puma hunting is legal, it's often closely regulated to ensure sustainability. Hunting can help maintain balanced predator-prey relationships, protect livestock, and fund conservation efforts through license sales.
