I live In So Oregon. They reintroduced non native Canadian timber wolves into Idaho amd N.E. Oregon several years ago. The wolves have spread all around the area all the way into Cali. They have had approx 7 confirmed wolf kills of live stock this last year as the wolves move closer and closer to rural communities. They are no longer an endagered species, but they refuse to remove them from the list to allow hunting. This fall a local hunter was being sralked by two wolves when he had to shoot one, as the other ran away. They are not native wolves they are larger and average abt 250 lbs and are devastating deer and elk herds, along with the goat, sheep, and cattle they slaughter. They rarely eat the animals they kill... they just love the slaughter. Also, any reports of sightings and the FS/rangers are likely to say it was a big coyote and they also keep the numbers and pack locations secret. Add to that, the mountain lion over population and many people see loss of family pets, so far no children.

Wow. Thank you for this detailed reply. I'm off to do some more reading. The rot runs so deep in so many levels, it's frustrating.

My 90 year old grandparents live on a chunk of land in Missouri and have for over 25 years. They and their neighbors have seen and reported mountain lions. The conservation/natural resources department blew them off every single time saying, "There are no such thing as mountain lions in Missouri." This past summer my grandmother went to fill her bird feeders, came back in the house, and looked out the window. There in one tree was a mountain lion perched on a branch. It watched her fill the feeders. She was lucky. Now just this year they have admitted that mountain lions "might be coming back to Missouri after over a hundred years."

Something is fishy.
