[QUOTE="Dave, post: 604279, member: 498"] In California I think they totally outlawed lion hunting. Here in Washington they just outlawed hound hunting for cats and bears. That in effect outlaws cat hunting because the only effective way to hunt cats is with dogs. It use to be extremely rare for a boot hunter to kill a lion, now there are a number of them killed by boot hunters every year. That alone is telling of what the population is doing. Judging on the amount of cat sign I see now compared to 30 years ago I think there are a lot more cats than they are estimating. We haven't had any people killed yet but there have been a number of close calls. Our Dept of Wildlife keeps trying to blame any encounters with lions as people moving out into their habitat. The reality is the deer population is way way down so cats are starting to move closer and closer to town. It is only a matter of time until some kid gets ate. A few years ago a cougar chased a deer through the WalMart parking lot in the middle of the day scattering grandmas and kids. You will note that area of the state is now having control hunts to decrease the lion population. [/QUOTE]
