You don't get paid for doing it, but you do it anyways. Sounds like you're having fun. Nothing wrong with that.

Absolutely understood and agreed.
To clarify though: the term "hunting for fun" is usually applied to people who will shoot animals that they don't intend to use/eat. So I am making that distinction. It probably seems silly to make but it matters to me.

If you are an Idaho State Patrolman, it's probably not wise to publish photos of yourself visiting a California Cannabis Club.

Yes but hunting mountain lions is not really in the same ballpark as cannabis lol. Mountain lion hunting in California is illegal because mountain lions are endangered. Killing them in Idaho is legal because they are not endangered there and because there is likely significant "negative" impact on the local livestock from mountain lions.
Banning mountain lion hunting all over the nation because California's population is endangered (despite the fact that generally Californians think that their word should be good for the rest of the nation) would quickly see much of the interior of the US with major issues with livestock and even SOME areas with problematic mountain lion - human interaction - i.e. people would start becoming food, along with family pets.

Pot is legal in California. It isn't in Idaho.
The analogy is fine.
The problem here isn't that he did it - it's that he was an idiot and took pictures of it.

It would not be legal for an Idaho resident.

Fine, assume the pictures are from when he was a resident.

The analogy is terrible.
AR-15s with adjustable stocks are illegal in New Jersey. They are legal in like 45 other states. If I live in New Jersey, should I not let a picture of myself be taken using an AR-15 with an adjustable stock in another state? What about guys who go on shows like Top Shot and use weapons that would otherwise be illegal in their home states? Should they be persecuted for this?

Agreed. In fact they hurt their own case by virtue of perception when they go after what they think is "low hanging fruit" like this game commissioner, rather than focusing their efforts elsewhere where real animal cruelty is going on.

No problem at all for me unless it was one of those where they pen up the animal and station the hunter 50 yards away oh and administer a drug to the lion so it doesnt move to fast.
When I was in South Dakota they have a hunt there without a time limit but a bag limit and they reached their limit in a very short period of time which made me wonder how many mountain lions were in the black hills.
Rarely do I have an issue with the Humane society but I think they are off base with this one.
Oh and the pot argument is not a good analogy unless the fed has changed its opinion.
