 :tup:  Good for them, glad the child is safe.

Now how many people are going to riled up into an uproar over the "senseless killing" of an animal? More death threats like the lady in California?
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

Yep. Do a quick search on FB for Rexburg mountain lion, and read all the crazy's comments. Unreal.

I am not going to lie.  This is one of those irrational things that really freaks me out about taking my young boys out in the woods.

Two weeks ago a guy saws a cougar drag a deer it had just killed across the road, just a few mile outside of Twisp. A trail cam was set out and in less then a week three different cats were caught on camera within a mile of the kill. Be aware, you don't have to be out in the woods anymore to have something bad happen.

Protecting predators creates problems closer to home…..

Wow. I shouldn't be surprised, but wow. There are no words for some of the people commenting and their comments.
