    think im gonna do some predator hunting, hopefully have its head on the wall..
    Sounds to me like you just wrote yourself a one-way ticket to jail if you ever do have to shoot a large cat for self-defense... it is illegal to kill them unless it's for self-defense... I don't have the actual IC on it right at this moment, but I don't think I'd be telling everybody you're going to go predator hunting.
