Big cats

[KoozeDeer]

Between myself and a few other fellas we have 8 cats on camera this year. 7 still active, there is of course a possibility one of the cats could be photographed on different cameras. A fella down the street caught one last night trying to get into his livestock. Brutal the number of predators running around.

Someone reported one a few days ago that was close to my place.

I might have told this story already...A couple years back, I got a collared lion on a cam...The lion guru for DFG is a good friend of mine...So, I called him about my cat...Gave him the time and location...He called me back saying, he'd have to get more info and look into it closer, because there were 4 other cats in the same general area with collars...WTF!

ps...Most the cats I get on camera are uncollared...

Steve, is it safe to say most cats are collared vs micro chipped? Asking for a friend

Is that like a money band? If you get one & turn it in, they pay you, right?

Wouldn't it be nice if the DFG had as much interest in our local deer herd as they do in these cats

Agreed

Ain't that a fact. Don't the libs know the cats eat deer and other poor defenseless critter. They don't get their meat at the local market.

I think they do...When you have management thru the ballot box...Things can go south quickly...............

Yeah DFG doesn’t make the law, they just enforce it.

The deer aren't cute enough for the enviro's to care about

You do not want people to think there cute.

Lions aren't the problem... wildlife management is the problem... 2 deer tags, rifle hunts during the rut, no hound hunting... Hunting in California is circling the drain. There are more lions per square mile in Arizona, because of good wildlife management. My 2 cents... Ed F
