2ndwind: Sad.
And a shame.
I also remember when there was a bounty on Mt. Lions in taxington - we had wonderful Mule Deer and Mt. Goat Hunting back then and folks were safe in the woods.

As an aside, when I first started deer hunting in Fall of 1963 in Calif, there was an open season on Mountain lions. You did not need a tag but you were required to have a valid hunting license. There was no limit on how many you could shoot as they were classified as "pests." Realistically you'd have been lucky to shoot one. They're rather secretive and stealthy. From 1963 until 1997 when we left, I saw three
and I was up in the mountains a lot. Did not shoot at any as I had no chance.
FWIW.
