No comment about controlling population or the effects on ranching !

The Komifornians have had an increase in attacks on people, high depredation on stock, and pets for that matter, and they have yet to realize none of it started until after they quit letting hunters teach them to respect humans.

We can't expect much from any of these others.

What are your thoughts on the American Jaguar? Will that population show to increase too?

No. Jaguars were never as numerous as Mountain Lions and their habitat requirements are completely different.

I've hunted all of my life, but I'm glad to see the lions are coming back strong. Maybe they'll thin out the poodles in California (maybe some politicians too). I wish they would reintroduce grizzlies here in Colorado. I miss them since, I've moved from Montana 30 years ago. I see mountain lions about every month at my place in Broadmoor Bluffs (about 3 miles from downtown Colorado Springs). In my opinion, if you don't want to see predators around. I hear there's a lot of cheap real estate in East LA ... though I don't have much use for wolves I must admit.
