Joe, are you near Cool?
in 1988 a mt lion (a.k.a. catamount)
killed my milk goat and earlier this
year my next door neighbors lost a
goat to one also.

We also have bears,
raccoons, foxes, bobcats, skunks and the
wonderful and beautiful ring-tailed
cat, which was often kept as a pet by
miners back in the "old days".
