I love the big cats. Only seen two up close in 30 years of hunting Arizona, NM, Montana but many times no tracks in a puddle going in and big cat tracks going out. Theyre called the ghost of the forest for a reason. A few children have been attacked here near the lakes by young adults and I talked to another bowhunter who was knocked flat by one hiking in in early dark. It hit his backpack and then took off. I know the only sure way to hunt them is with dogs and just waiting for the stories from Cal and Oregon on more hikers, kids and joggers getting munched. Well meaning fools are dangerous.
