A 160 lb. male lion was killed a couple of weeks ago in Laclede, ID by a Federal trapper after it had killed 5 domestic goats. It had been tagged in the spring of 2018 near Chewelah, WA some 60 miles from where it was killed. At that time it weighted 150 lbs.
A Mountain lion recently attacked a child in a city park in Leavenworth, Washington.
Increased attacks indicate a growing predator population.
In January, concerns about Mountain lions took center stage at a WDFW Commission meeting in Spokane. Residents of northeast Washington in particular raised concerns about what they believe to be a growing Mountain lion population.
