He could come back for it I suppose but after them having dogs there to track it I don’t know.
As far as that lion relocating himself I’d say that’s just a guess. Up in those mountains is Crestline, Arrowhead, Running Springs and Big Bear and a lot of people, that would pretty much take care of the 120 to 200 square miles the guy mentioned.
If California has 4,000 to 6,000 mountain lions , there may not be a spare 120 square miles empty now.
