Let me preface by saying this.
I support hunting, I think when done in a sporting manner and the animal is eaten it is a perfectly respectable hobby.. hell I dont hunt but love eating venison.

BUT..
I was watching ESPN the other morning, and they were hunting mtn lions. They essentially chase these cats up a tree with dogs and a guide (maybe even on a ranch?), then stand back and shoot it with an arrow, where it falls out of the tree...

I have a real hard time considering that sporting... anyone else have thoughts? Kind of like herding a shark into a tide pool and shooting it from the safety of the rocks...
