In Missouri unless they are killing or threatening livestock or a human they are protected.
If one is shot the shooter is to report it imediately.

All wildlife is protected in a state but unless there is a specific law against shooting a Cougar, it's your call. The state woud first have to admit that they even existed in numbers. ...
I know for a fact, there is no law, in Iowa, that prohibits the shooting of cougars. I recall that a few years ago, a Moose made it down here from Minnesota and a hunter shot it. He reported this to the DNR and although they thought about it, they could not procecute the hunter. ....
It is always wise to contact your local DNR to confirm this information. ..
Be Safe !!!
