Big mountain lion

[TxAg]

I don’t care if they are plentiful or not. They don’t really serve a purpose in Texas anymore. Hunters take care of the deer population, we don’t need an apex predator to do it for us. Cattle, sheep, goats, and horses are never going to overpopulate and there is a significant dollar loss if a big cat kills one. I don’t want them killing my dog either.

If they go extinct so be it. I don’t want any tigers or wolves running around in Texas either.

Hunters are also conservationists. Well, at least most of us.

Yeah.........we will agree to completely disagree. But I’ll make a note that I actually saw someone post “if they go extinct then so be it”

I think the only thing I’d say that about would be mosquitoes.

I sure hope you are trying to be funny. If not you may need to be neutered.

Get out your knife and pack a lunch then cause I’m not trying to be funny.

Do I want them to go extinct? No. Does it influence my life one way or the other if they do? No

I think the population is low enough and the deer are plentiful enough that they don’t even make a blip on the radar. If I see one that I can get a shot at I’m going to shoot it.

Don't forget about chiggers

We had a state biologist speak at Rotary one yr. He stated that if people knew just how many mountain lions we had in our area (Burnet, Llano County’s ) we wouldn’t walk our dogs. Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean they are rare. Just live sightings are Rare

Conservation isn't defined as "optimizing condition for ungulates at the expense of everything else"

Man this place is eerily like the posts on facebook. It's a predator. Lions and yotes get shot in Texas. Big deal. Get over it. Did y'all vote for Beto?

Thanks TxAg I’ll read it. I’m totally game if there’s a healthy population and I’d hunt a mature one if that was the case. I just can’t stomach the thought of killing any animal that’s rare so I’m looking to feel better about celebrating someone that’s killed a ML. Just the only literature I’ve read doesn’t exactly say they’re plentiful.

I'll give you another reason to hunt them. Mountain lions are delicious, no joke.

I agree 100%. I do think the populations of predators in Texas are currently well managed by the state regulations though. None are at risk of becoming a threatened species, and predation on livestock is fairly minimal. It's a difficult balance to find.

Fake news supposedly. It was killed 2 years ago and it was not near Garvin Store.
