[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1126538, member: 90453"] I would say 25-06 is a bit much. We take them with a ruger gp100 loaded with hard cast lead .357's. They have all been dead when they hit the ground. The guy with the dogs also packs a contender pistol in .223 that does the job just fine if they get into the rocks and not a tree. At that matter, he even killed one with a longbow a couple years ago. There isn't much too them especially when you are shooting almost straight up. I had planned on taking one with .45 acp and hard cast lead but he got rid of the dogs when his kids got out of diapers. Just remember, especially when hunting with dogs, you will have to walk very fast and up some nasty stuff (lions like the nasty stuff) so weight is definitely a concern. The revolver is great as you can have both hands free to grab and claw your way up to the cat then still have plenty of power to knock it out of the tree. [/QUOTE]
