Why wouldn't the cops have brought a tranquilizer gun instead? Killing the mountain lion solves nothing! They could have easily stunned and relocated him. It's graphic, but I want to make it clear: those two brothers walked into the mountain lion's territory. The mountain lion didn't show up in the town and attack them randomly; they took a chance and placed themselves in the mountain lion's habitat.
Every time there's one of these type reports they come out of the woodwork it seems.

According to a local rancher he lost a calf to wolves recently. F&G won't confirm it was a kill as the carcass wasn't recovered when they got there, but his cattle feeder guys saw the wolves on the carcass and apparently they have some cam pics or such. Not far from our place from what I've heard, maybe 4-5 miles.

That's what the wolf re-introduction lovers won't tell you. Most the time ranchers are not getting re-imbursed for their livestock losses. The ranchers here in Arizona only have about a 40% success rate of getting money from the government for their livestock losses to wolves.


Sounds like you need to go "yote" hunting and shut the hell up..

Screw that, the Mexican gray wolves here are treated like gold and they may all even be chipped. They are constantly watched and studied by people. If one of them gets out of the boundaries of the territory they want them in, they will track it for miles and bring it back. They tracked one all the way from Arizona to the Rockies in the central part of New Mexico and brought it back...

If you shoot one here, I get the feeling you'd be looking over your shoulder the rest of your life just waiting to be found out no matter how deep you buried it or how quiet you were about it.
