Their is a line between fear and respect and being smart. It seems you equate acknowledging that something can hurt you with fear. I find that realizing something is dangerous and being smart around it. Can save one many stiches or worse. Ill rational fear can cause one to behave or act in an inappropriate manner. Having knowledge means one doesn't pet the bison, one doesn't try and hug bear cubs. Some things people learn at a early age don't touch the hot stove, look both ways when crossing the street. I grew up on a farm did a fear the cows no. But I knew to careful around cows with calves. Did a fear the bulls and boars some what. It made me very careful when it came time to handle them. But handle them we did. One learns not to sneak up behind a horse you could get kicked. When a horse's ears lay back and they exposé their teeth they might be thinking about biting you. It is no different with wild animals There is normal behavior and there is behavior that causes one to take notice of. Never seen a rabid racoon, fox or coyote. I have trapped and shot many hundreds for their fur. That doesn't mean when I see one stumbling around. I will not be careful. Never been close to a cape buffalo, leopard, African lion or other large critters around the world. That doesn't mean I do not know they can be dangerous. Into days world there are plenty of people who's agenda to put animals first people second. Their battle cry is far more often animals are fuzzy, furry friendly forests, critter's. that never do no wrong. It is ok if some people get chomped and killed. It is not the animals fault. If only those nasty humans haven't been there. It is a rare attack. Their agenda is simple. To stop hunting To take away are second amendment rights. They are far more dangerous. Then someone who's says animals can be dangerous be careful around them. | |||

There have been reports of and pictures of Lions in Missouri as far back as I can remember. My family moved here in 1975. The Missouri Dept of Conservation has continually denied it. Even to the extend of calling game camera pictures, of what is clearly was a lion, a house cat! | |||

Has become common practice with game department across the country. When one finds a excuse others follow. Just like recommend spray over firearms. They follow each other in lock step. | |||

Again the chance of a attack by a cougar is percentage wise so far down the list something to not worry bout. If some one is going hunting , hiking running biking etc etc percentage wise so many things that could happen to harm them before a cougar attack but yet they will still do it. There is many radical people in both the anti hunting and hunting world and both have many that have little to no knowledge of the subject they talk bout and put out untruths. Since I have hounds and follow cats I have to deal with both quit regularly. Hunters spread just as much BS if not more then the antis and I have seen more regulation changes and lost opportunity caused by hunters. | |||

I think we are pretty much saying the same thing in different ways. | |||

You are correct. People do many things that can be dangerous. As long as they know what they are getting into. I do not see a problem | |||

RAised on large ranches and leased large ranches in the high population of Mt. Lion country, trapped and go them in snares and getters. shot them over dogs and with spot light on two occasions had a freezer full of hides at one time..Lions in Texas are predatory and no season last know of in the Big bend area, have no fear of Mt Lions, none what so ever, I think problem Lions and bears have to do with BS and closed seasons for a number of years and that creates aggressive predatory animals. A 12 lb. bobcat is more aggressive than a Lion for some reason, I have never known a cowboy to get et or bit,  Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||
