Being in this part of California we don' t generally have Mountain lions in the area but we do in fact have some. My question is how bad do they affect the human/pet population in your area? Just curious because several years ago a male M.Lion came down from the near by hills (probably about close to 15 miles) and stirred up a scare at a local college we have out here. Happy to say no humans were hurt or killed but it did kill and eat a few dogs and cats before animal control was able to shoot it with sleeping darts.
