Oddly enough, there was a mountain lion around. It stalked my daughter inlaw. Followed right in her foot steps, at 20 yards she informed the kitty ''one more step and I shoot''. The cat from my perspective took about three bounds to clear a 30 foot high stock dam. Oh yes, the good and greedy doctor said he walked the whole property and never saw a lion, so there wasn't one there. One more thing lions eat turkeys, lots of turkeys.
