It’s been a while since a cougar killed anyone. They are still hunted and very wary. In the last decade I’ve only seen one.

Of course, there was one that was eyeing the playground at a local day care. It was treed and dispatched before it gathered up any snacks.

On 5/24 we ( my granddaughter and I) were just about ready to hike down Bright Angel Trail at the Grand Canyon when we saw what we thought was a bobcat move across a parking lot and into a ledge at the trail head. It turned out to be a young mountain lion (cougar) which we were able to photograph. We reported it to the rangers who said they'd probably have to relocate him. Evidently, he'd gotten so used to people that the hikers didn't faze him. It sure did us! Lew, in Ks.

I don't know where the he** you live but pumas kill people in CA regularly. It hasn't "been a while since a cougar killed someone" it has only been a few months. Try a web search, it is your friend. In CA we can't hunt them, they stalk and kill humans at a constant rate of about 2 or 3 per year, not a lot, unless you happen to be one of the 2 or 3.

They aren't hunted in Calif. But should be...

We can now shoot them here in Okla.....IF they are attacking livestock or threatening humans.

They are here....but in what numbers...know one really knows for sure.
