Is it time to legalize the hunting of bobcats with handguns?

You can shoot one in a trap with a pistol but not just walking through the woods during the bobcat season.

Don't see the harm.

One of them rules that don't make much of any sense, probably only exists because of a lack of good wording and no one bothers to fix it.

While you are staying up at night worrying why don't you find out why it is illegal to shoot them at night, when most are seen.

How many times have you had the opportunity to shoot one “just walking through the woods” with a handgun and were prevented by this regulation?
None…..zilch…… never…..ain’t likely to happen!
But now, black panthers I see all the time in pistol range!

Actually just a law that has never been updated since caliber restrictions for handguns went away
