Good news in Oregon, apparently lion sightings in Oregon close to human populations has pushed the state to allow hunting coug's with dogs again after it banned it years ago..... How long do you think it will take before California pulls its head out of its ass and allows taking of lions again? IMO the populations sucks right now, and Nevada is reporting that close to the border their deer herds have slowly dwindled due to the increase of lion population coming over from california, they say the lions are coming to Nevada because they have nothing to eat in California anymore. Makes sense.

It's madness. In AZ, some reservations will give you a lion tag for $5, and if you get one, they'll give you another one for free!
It's a wonderful place, yes minus the horrendous summer weather. I have a 2 year plan for moving there 
I'm just saying at some point wether it be in 5 years or 20, the state has got to acknowledge that there is a dynamic issue in the population between predator and prey (cougars & deer). And one would hope that they would allow some degree of harvesting. And one would hope they would realize that spot and stalk hunting is not a viable answered to the issue.

Very commonsensical thinking, but remember we're dealing with people that have NO commonsense.....Their thinking will be outlaw deer hunting and the lions will have plenty to eat..... :
there is nothing to wish for here... prop 117 can not be changed by any elected or non elected official. it can only be changed by proposition.
To return lions to the domain of the DFG to mange like every other resource you would first need to get the required signatures to get on the ballot. Then you would need to get the Liberal Fracktards that live in this state to vote it in.
quick translation, zero chance ever.

Ill be happy to sign it. Maybe the spotting of the lion in hesperia can help things out. It's sad to think that lives would have to be lost for it to gain traction.
