This was taken about 1/2mi from us a few weeks back during deer season. Guy who owns the property said in the morning he could see where it had scouted around the electric fence trying to find access to his cattle. I was out for a walk the other morning (see pic in World Around You) and spotted some good size canine tracks that did NOT belong to my dog. Whether it was big coyotes, wolves or cross breeds I dunno. MDNR has looked the other way for years on the cats. Everyone knows there up there.

AJ now carries a spear.

Of course a spear and not a gun...

Spear needs a crossbar …

Maybe AJ’s a convicted felon, or caught charges for domestic violence.

It’s a sad story. However...I can’t stop rereading it, looking at the cast of characters, and shaking my head.

I’m probably going to hell.

WTF is wrong with Colorado? (Besides the obvious)...

Cannon says the lion attacked a dog at a home 400 yards from Andelman’s and that during the attack, the dog’s owner killed the lion. She reiterated what Peterson had said, that it’s illegal to kill a lion to protect a pet but that in this instance CPW won’t be pressing charges due to “the totality of the circumstances.”

“No, you can’t kill a mountain lion for attacking your dog. But the officer on the scene, after examining the evidence, hearing the witness statements, and consulting with his supervisor, decided not to charge the individual for killing the lion,” she said.

If an animal attacked my dog, it would be hunted down and terminated with extreme prejudice. Period. End of story. Regardless of consequences. And I sure as hell wouldn’t be carrying around a spear.
