[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1729291, member: 498"] The fish and wildlife people say there was 1,500 lions in the state back in the mid 90's when the humane society got a measure on the ballet to outlaw hound hunting of cougars. Of course the urban population around Portland thought that was a great idea. So it passed into law. Now wildlife is saying there are 6,000 cats and maybe 7,200 in the state. How they came up with those numbers while sitting behind their desk over in the state capital I don't know. I could guess 10,000 with as much chance of being accurate as they are. I know that here there was a real tough winter in 2016. They say that 60% of the deer in county winter killed that year. Of course the cats didn't winter kill. The deer population has been having a hard time recovering because the cougars keep thinning them out. [/QUOTE]
