In Texas, they are a non-game species and may be virtually mowed down with a gun like a mangy coyote, a gopher or a rat year round. I have no personal interest in hunting a beautiful animal as a cougar or wolf for pure sport as it's not something I want to eat anyway. I can only see killing wolves and cougars for self-defense, defense of humans, children and pets or as an anti-depredation measure wherever the law permits it.
Should permits be required to take cougar or wolf? I would say no if the animal poses an immediate threat to persons or domestic animals. If a cougar, bear, wolf, wild dog, wild hog etc. were to attack me, I'm pulling my gun out to go BANG! summarily. Commie-fornia requires depredation permits to take lions that threaten livestock.
