We have lots of them here in Eastern Washington...but I have never seen one...I have seen a couple of the deer they have killed. I think the coyotes are a greater threat to the deer however.

They are all over Southern California, but as most know, due to the anti's in California we can't kill them, even if it is self defense, you had better be able to prove it...here, they are becoming more and more brazen, population is growing, and now some hikers and joggers are becoming targets...
I would have to agree, I think here Coyotes are still more of a threat to deer....but even coyotes here are becoming more of a threat to humans, they too are also becoming more brazen as their attacks are on the increase here, but we can do something about them.

I am not sure about what states allow it but I would be toting the S&W 357. I'd have to just take my chances.

One was sighted here (within 2 miles) in January 2004. Last fall I got this picture of a track here on my property. It measured 4 1/2" in diameter. The lack of claw marks indicates that the animal has retractable claws and therefore not of the canine family. Then this spring while brush hogging on the back of the property, I saw either the largest tom cat in existence or a young puma.

Yes they released them with the publics knowledge.
Funny how a quick search thru the MN DNR website turned up nothing to confirm such a stocking release.

A local in the area I hunt in Southern IL told me about the latest bigfoot sighting in the area...that bigfoot was seen riding a log down the flooded Big Muddy River...and he seriously believed it to be true. Somehow, I am not too worried.

Yeah not calling you a liar or anything but it seems like the release of mountain lions would also carry with it a big media presence. The DNR sends out many news releases covering anything and everything and this would certainly be one of them. I believe you on the sightings, but maybe you were privy to information that the rest of us Minnesotans weren't especially if you know local officials personally?
