bobcat or mountian lion

Wish they'd export some of them to Pennsylvania. Deer are hooved rats as far as I'm concerned. There are stretches of highway you can go down and pass ten dead dear within less than half that amount of miles. Frigging bleeding hearts have stopped a lot of areas from being hunted ("BUT THEY'RE PRETTY" "THEY'RE NATURAL" "THEY WERE HERE FIRST.") Yeah, pretty, plus they'll eat anything green and most of them are infested with deer ticks carrying Lyme disease.

Yes they most certainly are a part of the natural environment, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THEIR PREDATORS. There's a reason why a deer has 2 calves every year, frigging things are meant to be FOOD.

Thats a great way to look at deer, I'll have to develop that mindset everytime johnny comes home with pics of his hunt

I've always kinda felt bad for Bambi's dad.

Mountain lion. Short fur, stocky face, white underbelly.
Bobcats are spotted, kinda like snow leopards.

You have no idea how big I smiled reading that comment!
So many peeps have not been out in the wild enough to get it, and have a Disney mentality when it comes to wildlife management (or mismanagement)!
The wolf reintroduction has gone woefully wrong as well. What started off as a plausible approach has gone so far off course it has become it's own problem!
