Reports of them in NE Iowa (Allamakee and Clayton Counties) as well.
Time to organize an Iowa Chapter AR15.com Mt. Lion hunt? [:D] Aviator [img]www.milpubs.com/aviator.gif[/img] |

There has been numerous sightings in Minnesota as well. In fact, a police officer recently shot one in a South Minneapolis suburb a few weeks ago. Dispatched the beast with his AR15. One shot- No more kitty! They were not sure if the cat was an escaped domestic animal, or a true wild cat. They didn't take any chances, as the cat was in a populated recreational area, and was displaying "unusual" behavior.

The most scared I have ever been is when a mountain lion stalked me in a steep canyon during an elk hunt.
I have had a mother black bear 100 yards away from me after I had gotten close to her cub, but still the mountain lion scared me worse. I don't put elk urine on my person anymore. They are magnificent looking animals. |

I live a few miles from the base of the San Gabriel Mtns, in So. Calif, 10 miles east of L.A. We get mountain lion sightings/reports every so often, and people have reported missing dogs & cats. We have a law in Calif. where you can't sport hunt cougars, so the local PD/sheriffs has to hunt down & kill any offending mountain lion.

One was killed by a train and recovered in southwest Illinois last year. There have been numerous reports of them in north central Missouri, and several confirmed reports farther south. In my world they are shoot-on-sight. [sniper]
