[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2639404, member: 113623"] 100%. I don't think people realize that CA has one of the highest populations of mountain lions in the country to begin with. There is this (intentional) misconception that because they are protected that they are rare or endangered when nothing could be further from the truth. I grew up in Sacramento and they were everywhere along the river. I work in Malibu and they are all over the Santa Monica mountains, and up into Ventura. They are close to population centers and one even came into the LA zoo and carried off one of the koalas. The fact that they aren't publicly managed increases the likelihood of negative interactions with humans, and also puts pressure on bighorn sheep populations that CADFW is so desperate to protect.
