My neighbor got a shot off at it last year but noone can hit the side of a barn over there. I had a state trapper out there last year and they took 40 coyotes with their cyanide poppers they use.I have so many predators there i think it is starting to ruin my deer hunting.

That mountain lion may be doing some predator hunting of his own.
But a cat that big will run off everything.
The coyotes are bad here too. We had snow last week and I
shot some video of the frikkin grand central station traffic
of coyote tracks in my south pasture. Minutes before I shot
the video, there had been a yote howling about 200 yards
west of that pasture off in the woods. It was 3:43pm.
I have goats and I am getting pretty concerned that this group
of yotes has been studying my fences and herd pretty hard.
I need to buy an elevated blind badly. We also have some
big cats in the area and the bobcat population is pretty good.
