we control both with badgers.[quote]ORIGINAL: Germ
BADGERS? we don't need no stinking Badgers........ The PA game commission has NOT EVER released any MT Lion to help keep down the yote population, when any game animal grts out of control, or has exceeded it's carring capacity, thats when liberal bag limits come into play. Thats when us hunters are called upon to beat the balls off of a population to bring them back into check. Here in NY years ago a bounty was put on bobcat and fox. I do not have any proof of a game species being controlled by the release ofa largerpreditor..... DFA

RE: Spotted! Mountain lions in Kansas
Doesn't suprise me. I live in Northwest Nebraska and there is a LOT more Mountain Lions here than game and parks like to admit. They've had laws on the books since roughly 92 when a deer hunter shot one, and it raised a big stink with the urban residents of the state(read Omaha).
I know of one rancher that has a resident mountain lion, that has had several sets of cubs. He's told game and parks about it, and they still claim that there is no definite proof of a breeding population in Nebraska. Maybe they should at least go investigate....
Anyway this story reminded me of a mtn lion that had a tracking collar put on it in the Black Hills of SD and turned up in Oklahoma, near the KS line.

Not hard to believe for me. They are in SE Oklahoma why wouldn't they be in Kansas In fact the Oklahoma wildlife department has changed the rules for shooting them.
