Pixman Report post Posted May 20, 2011 Well I had the afternoon off and decided to do some shed hunting. I live in the Valley so I didn't know I would be shed hunting in the rain and even got some hail. I had to hide under a tree several times and got soaked from walking through wet brush.I didn't hike as far as I wanted but being soaked and a little cold kind of zapped my energy, so I only went on a 4 mile loop. So I wasn't able to find any sheds. On the way home I saw 2 guys standing on the shoulder of the highway looking at something, I was thinking a deer or coyote but when I drove past I realized it was a Mtn. lion so I had to get a closer look. It was pretty beat up from being hit by a car doing 70 mph or so. When I got up close it was a little intmimidating at the size of its paws and teeth.I know some people don't like Mtn. lions because they do kill other animals but I think they are beautiful and an amzing animal to see!

Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted May 23, 2011 Few years back coming out of Globe headed north missed my opportunity to nail one of those suckers in my father in laws truck. Late at night, saw a flash come out of no where, dodged real hard to miss it and then realized I shoulda dodged harder to hit it......I don't think the lion population is hurtin..

Arizona Griz Report post Posted May 24, 2011 I hate to see any animal hit by an automobile if that's what killed it. Hopefully it lived a full life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
