It's illegal to bait wildlife into a kill zone.
If you are a deer, they are aggressive, but we are something that they don't want or need. But even if you have never seen a mountain lion, there is probably a chance that a mountain lion has seen you.
Under law, we shall issue a depredation permit if you can prove that there is damage to your property or livestock. But you have to take reasonable steps to remove whatever is inviting that animal in.
There's much more of a chance that you'll see one if you're outdoors than if you're home sitting in your living room. In the winter, when it's rainy, cold and miserable, people aren't out there taking walks over hill and dale.
