A Mountain Lion ran across the road less than 100 yards in front of my sister-in law as she drove through town, in a more populated neighborhood. Shocked

Never ate big cats before . . . .
Actually it illegal to shoot them here. It's just that these critters haven't developed a mortal fear of humanity yet, and to have them running around town in broad daylight is not reassuring.

The big cats HATE being around man...but given enough time with people FEEDING them-they're stomach will over-rule their better instincts.
Trust me..normally they avoid man like the plague(& rightly so..)Cause whenever their paths cross,it ALWAYS ends up badly for the cat.That usually born out of IGNORANCE & stupidity on man's part.

Thats so true Hoadie! Man is the only mammal on earth that hunts for fun or profit.  Yeah I shoot but most of what I shoot we eat the only animal I shoot and we don't eat are foxes and thats only when the farmers ask for them to be thinned out. The most sickening sight I ever saw was back in the 80s we had a real harsh winter and the hind cull was due. Poor sods were so starved they couldn't run away and basically the shooter could near enough walk up to them and administer a mercy shot. The tractor came back with 9 hinds on the trailer and all of them were badly emaciated.

Tony had that Hind herd been managed before the winter there would not have been all that starvation, I try to explain that to all these anti hunters that selective hunting is better that a slow death by starvation or disease

It gutted me CM. If the locals had half a brain they'd have put some silage out for the poor buggers at leaast then they would have had some breeding stock left for the next summer.

The big cats here are getting pretty bold on the island there has been and increase of cougar attacks in more populated centers as the god dammed hippies are feeding the deer in there back yard so they never leave town, and they are inbred lil bastards so they are smart like truck.  so now the cougars are coming into to town to eat the easy meal.
 
that aside I'm with CM on the selective hunting, however the people in our country don't seem to manage it that well, just my opinion I'm sure Hoadie has a view about how they run it back east.  they seem to overdo it so things begin to get out of hand like the wolf population right now.

For a while there was a quote going the rounds that the real reason Dinosaurs went extinct was that they were managed by a State Game Comission.LOL

THATS hillarious...& probobly not too far from the truth!
We are going through a similar problem right now with Wolves.Hunting them has been banned in and around Algonquin Park for sometime now.The gov't has spent scads of $$ on these "experts" who advise them of the #'s,health,range etc,etc.Things started to go wrong just recently when the gov't finally noticed how much they bin payin out in livestock damages(course they wouldnt listen to the people who've bin screamin)They started to finally ask questions..& private folks got involved.Guess what?We now find that the #'s are WAY more than these "experts" bin claiming...& the range is far wider than they bin sayin..& they're HEALTHIER than they bin sayin(cause they bin gettin prime livestock!!) Well- the spam is hittin the fan now..Just shows ya-NO dept of ANY gov't can be trusted with MONEY, COMPETANCE,AUTHORITY,or even GOODWILL.

I recon they must have moved over here Shamu. Word has it some idiot is planning to re introduce wolves back into the UK! Great!!! The tourists will be "Oooooooooo look at the doggies lets give em a feed!" or " You sit with the doggies junior I'll take your photo!". Farmers will lose livestock and then some tourist will get attacked and all hell will break loose.  We haven't the space to accomodate predators. Scotland is wide open moorland with towns and villages scattered around intersperced with farmland it would be a disaster waiting to happen.
