No mountain lions around here, but I carry a handgun at all times. If I lived in a place where there was a threat fron a wild animal attack, I would not sit foot outside unless I was armed. This is a tragic case, and I feel for that family, but it could have been prevented with a little common sense.
Actually know a local guy (retired LEO now)
Shed hunting with wife/kids
Saw a lion following them through the brush
Ended up killing the cat...had to answer to the DWR then
Ended ok...now lions have much less protection than yrs ago
Now anyone with a small game tag can drop a cat...
Before it was a draw system like the rest of Utah tags
