"Why the hell can't we hunt mountain lions in this state anymore?
It's such a shame." Due to the so called "Green Initiative" circa 1989...Due to the "enviros" feeling fish and game management was best done through the ballot box; as oppossed to wildlife mgmnt. professionals.
As a result the taxpayers via the DFG now pay professional hunters to kill "surplus" Mt. Lions. As opposed to recreational hunters paying to hunt and sometimes kill these same animals as part of a comprehensive management plan..." Enviro's" know best though! See MLPA..
