NY Times: Fatal CA Mountain Lion Attack follow-up

[HydeParkHunter]

New York Times article written by the uncle of the two young men attacked, one fatally, by a mountain lion in California this past March. Touches on hunting culture, management issues of lions in California and what's being done, or at least talked about.

Forwarding on as I think it's good anytime a national/international caliber news outlet is talking about hunting and/or closely related wildlife management issues.

If you really want to read the article but can't get past a paywall, I have a limited number of 'gift articles' I can send to folks through my subscription. Shoot me a private message with your phone number and I can text it to you.

That whole story seemed very strange. Hearing the story told by the surviving victim who left his brother to die was tough to listen to.

Wow. Horrible story. Feel for the family.

Cats in CA have been entirely unmanaged since Regan was governor . It's absolutely criminal

There are deadly attacks frequently in California. They don’t seem to care to talk about the miss management and trying to educate that population is frustrating at the least.
