Those that support trapping and killing predators twist Science.. mixing trophy hunters with sustenance hunters.. wrong. Telling anglers we will take away their sport, wrong. This is 2025, not 1825.
Nothing wrong with foot chase to hunt and find your deer amd elk. Something wrong with supporting hounders to chance and kill mnt lions, when we know they limit their numbers to a region like ally cats do!
Stop twisting facts.

Humans managing mountain lion hunting so that there will be more deer for humans to hunt. It’s not about the health of wildlife at all. I no longer see any reason for anyone to hunt anything. The devastation to wildlife both in habitat destruction and now global warming has been so severe that it no longer makes any sense to hunt anything. The author should be delighted he has the privilege of hearing the female cougars ‘scream’. He should consider it an honor to be living in its territory. It reminds me of all the people who come to my valley and erect 8 foot high deer and elk fences to keep the deer and elk out of their native habitat so that the humans can pretend to be environmentalists and live rurally. How’s about a real dialogue about the falseness of anthropocentric views on wildlife whether it’s human ‘experts’ or human voters. How’s about caring about wildlife for the sake of wildlife, not for the sake of the humans who like to kill it.

In most blood red western states biologists do not have the final word on wildlife management, especially predators. MAGA governors and willfully ignorant legislators do and are willing to use budget politics and oversight of commissions to play politics. I’m a lifelong hunter. Frankly, I no longer trust state governments or hunters to ethically “control” predator populations – populations that don’t need our control. Trapping these predators into control is just plain wrong ethically and biologically.

Now this is an educated comment. CWD was and still is a massive problem where we (myself and the author grew up)…

“Sigh” And now for the sad truth I don’t want to but am going to tell you part: It’s a good thing Mountain Lions need a massive range because if that’s the case the is a high probability at some point daddy is going to bring cat CJD home to the family.
