#2 There is a reason I always carry a gun and a knife.

Several reports of aggressive mountain lion behavior in Colorado recently. I think the population has grown and they are moving into areas they haven't been seen in years.

#3 a cougar just killed a wirehair griffon 3 doors down from my place on the river, the fish and game showed up called the cops and shot the cat while it was sitting and eating the dog.

#4 I think the population has grown and they are moving into areas they haven't been seen in years.

Kansas Parks/Wildlife found one the other week.

The other side would be human migration; seen a lot of 'Moving from The City to the mountains to be closer to nature' and are all surprised when nature eats their garden and their pets.

Compounding the situation is the obstruction to cull problem animals, both law and lynch mob. Cats not so much as bears, elk, deer, and then those damned wolf/domestic blends. Bear at the window when kids are eating breakfast, 911 says tough shit do nothing and call us if it gets in the house. Me, good thing I grew up playing baseball and skipping stones, cuz stones was all I had to cover wife and kid from the car to the cabin surrounded by those wolf/domestic devils - looked like coyotes but twice as high at the shoulder. What I needed was an AR with a 30 round mag.
