I do urge caution but do not be overly concerned if you see a mountain lion. You are pretty much safe everywhere. If you look at the risk factor you are more likely to be killed driving to a hiking trail than being attacked on a trail.

I challenge anyone to come up with a suggestion we haven't looked at.

In the rural areas, if a property owner has a hunting license, they can go ahead and shoot coyotes. However, in more urban settings, that is not an option for obvious reasons.

They were removed from the home because they were in poor condition, ... Now they are going back to an un-permitted facility.

It's not one of our highest priorities to hunt down everyone with restricted species. You have to weigh the public safety issue against everything else.

They're very resourceful and this is the time of year that they're basically getting ready to have pups, so they need a lot of calories.

They were eagerly awaiting the decision. We're not giving up. The project was stopped on time. Part of the problem is the Forest Service hadn't conducted the proper NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) requirements. We're leaving about five people out there. We had literally tons of equipment in there. That stuff's coming back out. It is just a logistical decision. Otherwise it would all have to be in there for a week.

This is going to pretty much do it for us. We're not going to move forward. We're very disappointed,

People think of deer as Bambi, cute and cuddly, but they can be extremely dangerous in certain circumstances.

The slot limit will revert to the former 72- to 46-inch framework from early June through Dec. 31. We're only restricting the slot limit during the time when female sturgeon are spawning.
