Geeze....must be out raccoon hunting.

I love the way nature works sometimes.
Don't have to worry about those pesty critters for a while. The neighbor just called to say he filed a wildlife report with the sheriff today. Apparently I slept through all the action last night when a Mountain lion attacked the raccoon family in his front yard. The kitty went after 1 of the youngsters first, but ended up scrapping with the mama. Don't know the end results, just some blood on the driveway.
Of course, one problem leads to another. I don't need a kitty cat cruising the area with 4 dogs in the back yard.
Lloyd's twin brother, Wilbur, couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag!

Maybe those racoons "got some". Filed a wildlife report????? Tax dollars at work??

Yep,
I told him to call it in. Just in case one of us has to put a hurt on the kitty for intruding.
That way after I'm cuffed & heading to the slammer, I have something on record when PETA, DFW, Sierra club, & all the others try to indict me. :smiley-yakkin-pink:

Makes sense, guess that is the world we live in.

Well, its the California world I live in.
Point in case. A woman in Mammoth is being cited for shooting a bear in her front yard with a pellet gun.
Charged with discharging a firearm in a "No-shooting" area, harassing wildlife, & using a illegal firearm which was not a centerfire type.
This is California!

Probably within a 150 yds of someone's building too................. :smiley-shakehead-blue:

The first bear I killed in KA had many air gun pellets and bird shot in him. He must have been a trouble maker. Without knowing the whole story, that sounds like bs for that lady. If a bear was in her yard, the kindest thing she could do is pepper his azz a little to get him out of an area that will eventually get him killed.
KA sucks.

That is pretty extreme to have the Mountain Lion fiasco going on right in the front yard. Hopefully it comes back and you can wack it.

Do you see lions or lion sign often up there Troy? I tend to see more lion sign when hunting down in SD county than I do up in your area. Only thing I can assume is the lions up your way move around more freely due to the sage and down here I run into the sign more because we share the same trails through the tall think chaparral, but who knows.

Nick,

I've read that cats can have a 50 miles homeland radius........That's easily attainable in the Sierra's........Here in San Diego, 50 miles radius puts them in downtown........I think our cats are much more concentrated and we're loaded with them.

A 50 miles radius from most anywhere in the eastern sierras would put a cat in Nevada where he'll get shot. There's plenty of cats on the east side but not as many as there is closer to the coast.

Nice work T! Now fill that lion tag. :smiley-wnk-yellow:

 

[dain v]

Congrats on the deer. Must have been a great time.

Yep Doug.........I think someone on the forum got a lion in Nevada......... :smiley-wnk-yellow:

Congrats!

I'm headed up to X12 again for another season w/out a tag (I HATE TAGS!!!)... but my 2 friends drew so it's on. We (there's actually 5 of us) have a standing reservation at Doc & El's Resort every year (starting last year) and we intend to make it an annual event until we're all pushing daisies. At least there's a lot of great fishing - and doves - near by.

 

[BOHNTR]

Good stuff right there!

 

[photohunter]

Lots of animals. Sounds like a fun hunt. Congrats!

 

[RANDRIDER]

Very nice archery buck. Just getting shots two days in a row,Epic. Congrats.

 

[CAhntr]

Sounds like a great hunt! Nice buck.

 

[YORT40]

This has been a good year for sure. Everyone I know with a tag has filled it.
It might be a month or 2 before I finish reading the owners manual, but I'll try to post some pics from my phone.

I hope the rifle season goes that way too.
