out here, we have plenty, even in the `burbs. i see `em out hunting in broad daylight regularly on my commute between Sacramento and Davis. haven't thought about hunting `em here, though. there's not a lot of land available for taking a crack at `em even with a bow. I'd like to see some stats about mountain lions, though; they're sacred cats here in the world's largest outdoor insane asylum. In fact, the last time I saw one, it was in the arboretum on the grounds of Cal State university, Sacramento, on new years' day, lounging in the sunshine as we drove by for a bike ride with our club! We've had several people killed by them, but since we have so many people, DFG doesn't see that as a problem.
