15 yr. old boy kills mountain lion in ne. Nebr.
Last Sat, was opening day of our rifle hunt. A 15 old boy from Wayne Nebr had to shoot a mountain lion that was about to attack him near Creighton,Ne. The paper said the lion was within 10ft. of him, thats a little close for comfort. We do have a few lions in the state, mostly in the western panhandle. Creighton is where I growd up,and have a farm we own and hunt on,10miles from the town. I always tell the people in our hunting party to watch their backs,we don't use stands or blinds,just sit on hills overlooking draws and creeks. We saw mountain lions on our farm in the mid 60s and early 70s, told the wardens about them and they just sort of laughed at us, and told us they where bobcats.
