You guys would be lucky to have a few cats around. It's what makes the wild what it is. Mountain lions have a range requirment that limits their numbers but yotes are just everywhere.
I don't think a few lions are gonna dent yourherd anymore than gut shot deer never recoveredor road kills or even haying fieds.
I don't want to control the woods I want to be part of it. It would be cool walking to my stand in the dark knowing that lions could be around. Do I wanna run into one. I think not, but it sure would add a level of excitement. I would rather be a part of the woods for awhile rather than need to completely control it.
In the mean time thump as many yotes as you can and if the time comes we can thump lions to. I would trade this years doe just to see one.
Rather have lions than a Walmart or new bunch of condo's
