Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Mountain lion kills one and badly injures another

CA deputies "fired shots to scare the lion away".... sad news but seriously didn't try to shoot it???

El Dorado county deputies didn't shoot to kill the SOB?

Wonder if they were avoiding hitting the victim as he was being fed on?

Damn shame as they were not even born when they placed a moratorium on killing cougars. Those that voted to stop hunting them get no sympathy from me.

"California Department of Fish and Wildfire

Now there's accuracy in reporting for you. Oh well, ignorant yuppie pap dispensers strike again.

Sorry the youth was killed. California is over run with Mountain lions, ever since anti-hunting liberals voted to "Ban All Mountain Lion Hunting" initiative years ago.

It'll happen again.

L.W.

Huh, interesting.

OK different report, sounds like they did try to kill it.

Department of Fish and Wildfire she said. oops

Double wow, check out some of the comments:

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.

Hopefully they find a dead lion tomorrow.

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.

The comments section is open... I almost never reply to crazy people but if you would like to bitch slap some of the stupid people this might be a good chance. Try not to get the comments shut down though....

Comments shut off now.

Too bad , I had a good one.

Damn, that's to bad.... Say, it wasn't someone here that got them shut down was it?

My Livestock guardian dogs came from Garden Valley. It's tiny, more a geographic area than a population center.

Have to ask the breeder what she's heard on the grapevine.

The stupid people in CA passed a law protecting mountain lions from being hunted. So we have a lot more of them and law enforcement is discouraged from killing them.

We are even more fugged since they banned hound hunting of bears…. Lots of lions got treed by those dogs….. we are being overrun with predators…. Maybe these wetbacks will develop a taste for mountain lion?

.....or vise virsa!

Few less calipornians won't hurt a damn thing.

Not long after that ban went into effect a woman was killed while jogging. The cat was killed and discovered to have cubs. Two funds were set up. One for the cubs and one for the woman's children. Guess which one got the most money?

Or the other way around?
