We can use dogs to hunt cats in liberal Oregon and now we have lots of them and it's still hard as hell to get one.
When I was a kid one of our neighbors was a retired gunsmith turned rancher. I recall him saying that he hunted cougar with a .22 LR. His reasoning was if you hit one with a high powered round, the cat would often run off and die but with a .22 LR, the cat would stay up the tree until it bled out.
I don't know if this is good info but it's what I remember from one old timer that sure seemed to be a good hunter...
