[Dysfunctional]

I was also doing some pike fishing in Sideling Hill Creek the other year, right during the time that the fawns were being dropped down by the creek.

I saw a surprisingly large figure moving slowly through the undergrowth to my right... I then noticed a significant tail on the critter.

After I stopped shuddering, I mouthed the words mountain lion under my breath.

I mentioned this to a local and they nodded, repeating to me that most others would not believe the critters to be around

Oh bloody hell.
That's just up the pike from me.

Seems like getting an AR-15 last month was good timing.
I tote a 30.30 lever action Winchester on my ATV at all times.
The 30.30 is good powerful gun but now the second it takes to jack the lever seem too long.

[We also have an "ultimate varmint gun" .12 ga. Mossberg but it would knock me clear off the ATV if I ever tried to shoot it....:))
