if you are a big game hunter in idaho you might want to think about packing a Pistol or
Revolver as a back up.. most of the mt. lion quotas in the units have been filled..
i have seen 2 in th wild in the past 4 years without dogs. i just happened to be hiking
on a trail, luckily i was armed. The lion kept just enough ahead of me that i could not zap him considering i payed the $10 to get a tag just a week earlier. if you read the papers
more and more people are being attacked by kitties.....i feel sorry for the unarmed tree huggers out on a nature walk..lol....
