having mt lion over population problems. like whats going on in idaho
 

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....

Here in Washington state it was thier type who created the initiative to BAN hound hunting of bear and cougar! It was thier allies who voted it in. Used to be that we would pay the state to hunt cougar, and now the state pays hunters to dispatch problem cats. Those who kept thier dogs now have a business.

Aint that the truth glock29rd. Another problem we have been having here in Idaho are with the wolves. During a late season muzzle load elk hunt this past winter it seemed that everytime I cut tracks on an elk, sure enough, there were the wolf tracks............

We haven't yet had the wolf issue in Utah yet but it is coming![:@] I did see 12 cougars and 7 black bears while deer and elk hunting last year though! Before last season I had only seen 1 cougar and 0 black bears in Utah! This is nuts! I need to get some tags for these critters!
