We will never have an extreme over population in SoCal. We live in a coastal desert, with a lack of rain fall. Nature automatically regulates wildlife reproduction according to rainfall trends. I wish we would have 3 heavy rain seasons here. The pig population would explode. ;D

I beg to differ sir. We have a cougar problem right now but it has not been addressed. In fact, San Diego County has more cougars per square mile than any place in the country.
Just saying...
With all the democrats and liberals in this state we will never see a season on lions again IMHO. For us hunters the management and control of predators is our responsibility if we ever want game populations to rebound. Just like anything else there's too many rules so this MUST be done under the radar. If anybody hears about any animal being harvested and they don't agree with it they will make a big ordeal and it just opens a can of worms. Put a little shovel in your pack and practice management. Shoot, shovel a mini.um of 2 feet, a shut the hell up. Loose lips sink ships so your partners must be sworn to the highest level of secrecy both on your spots and actions.
We also definitely have a HUGE yote problem. One killed our mostly indoor cat one morning in our fenced-in yard b/c we left the door open a crack to let our old dog go out at 5:30am, and after that I seemed to hear that they have no problem jumping over fences and grabbing pets in their mouth like take-away. :'(
I want two big dogs... I could also jog with them, and train them to help retrieve birds when hunting! But the old man nixed the idea.
Seriously, though. Big problem. Lions everywhere up in Laguna. There were a ton of fresh tracks Sunday am and a hunter I ran into was really spooked about it; kept checking his six.
As for coyotes, I live inside SD city limits and lots of big dogs have been attacked this year. Even if you have more than one, if any goes off by itself it will be no match for two hungry yotes. They are very efficient and can kill a big dog in a couple of minutes or leave it so maimed that you'll have to put it down.
My sister and her husband always kept two big dogs at the lighthouse they tended on Vancouver Island. They called them "lion bait".
