iowabucks Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Re: Mountain Lions? We hear rumors like that all the time over here in Iowa too. A DNR officer told me it would political suicide if they were to do that. Imagine the lawsuits that could happen if someone could prove that after an accident. I used to know of quite a few people that had them as pets. I believe some would get released if they became too much to handle. I bet thats where alot of them come from around here.

TreeWalker Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Re: Mountain Lions? The same conspiracy theory has been floating around here in ND also......there is no way any D&R or G&F department would be willing to attempt this......the liability and risk is just to great.... Long and short of it is, that urban sprawl is gobbling up more and more of the wilder habitat......that which was wooded, rough and pristine is now homws to cabins and retreats all of the central and western us.....we've seen a huge influx of cats in the past 5 years, leading up two our first two seasons...

coles Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Re: Mountain Lions? thats almost like letting wolves or grizzlies go in central park. sooner or later someone is goin to get hurt and of course the first people held responsible would be the D&R.

huntermq32 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Re: Mountain Lions? I haven't seen one in the timber but the game warden had one in the back of his truck that had been trapped for what reason he would not say.
