Mountain Lions
 

Being in this part of California we don' t generally have Mountain lions in the area but we do in fact have some. My question is how bad do they affect the human/pet population in your area? Just curious because several years ago a male M.Lion came down from the near by hills (probably about close to 15 miles) and stirred up a scare at a local college we have out here. Happy to say no humans were hurt or killed but it did kill and eat a few dogs and cats before animal control was able to shoot it with sleeping darts.

They are all over up where I hunt. And in my opinion, if there is anything to fear in the forest, it is the Mt. Lion. I know a few years back a lion killed someone near placerville (my grandma has a cabin there). Up in and around trinity, I personally see a couple lions every hunting trip. Never had a problem but when they passed a ban on lion hunting a few years ago, I heard lion attacks went wayyy up in that area.

ive never seen one around here personally but my dad has on our land and ive heard of a few others seeing them in my hunting area. And even a few have been seen around by my house by a few different people.

Litthuntin...Yeah i think i heard about that attack, wasn' t it about 4 years ago? I heard of a few since then as well. It doesn' t suprise me that attacks have gone up, i figured it this much, sooner or later someone who is an V.I.P either for the state or the US for that matter is going to have themselves attacked or a loved one by a Mt.Lion and do something about the ban. But for human compassionate sake, hope noone is killed let alone attacked.

RE: Mountain Lions
 

are you allowed to just hunt the lions or do you need a special permit?

i would love to have a montain lion mount! most people don' t think Oklahoma has too many mnt. lions but they sure do in south east okla. i' ve heard many accounts of them being spotted and have seen one myself, except he was more of a " river lion" but was 100% not a bobcat and was 100% mnt. lion.

kinda late on the reply heh.

Scared me to death the first time i saw him(bowhunting ' yotes in the river and he came by at 15 yards, second time at about 40) I wouldnt mind seein him again.
