[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1814710, member: 13632"] I've never seen a Mountain Lion take anything because of it's easier physically to run down, a lion does not run down anything so really they take the best target for the stalk. I've found mature bull elk dead in their beds and it was a broken tooth 110 lb female that killed him, can't count how many bucks I've seen in a pile of leaves dead, this year I found a dead buck that I was extremely healthy the day before. Lions are an awesome animal but like any other they need managed, sport hunting is a management tool as much as anything else, lions are excellent table fair and I love their fur and the skulls are cool but more over hunting them is to keep the numbers at a level that we can enjoy ungulates as well and so disease and starvation does not manage them. Lions are out of control, we have lost all the sheep in my area now and FWP lost all the funding to reintroduce them since the Lions are out of control. I would much rather hunting control them than pestilence because that means the prey like deer an elk are also wiped out. By a lions nature you should never see one, wanting to see one is part of our issues because the population has to be out of wack to be seeing lions regularly anywhere. That is a HUGE lion, I've only seen a couple it's equal, a huge lion is about 180 lbs, a monster is 200 and its rare to go over 200. [/QUOTE]
