The trapper who set a bear trap in my yard last spring said he had trapped and killed 7 mountain lions between Eureka and around Arcata in the past 3 years. The day he picked up my trap he had trapped and killed 2 in Willow Creek.
I haven’t seen one yet but they have been spotted in the gulch below us here in the south city limits of Eureka.

Are the ranchers/farmers reporting killing of their livestock?
Are deer hunters complaining about lack of deer during their hunts?
Those two tell/tales often preceed the sightings.
