db'er,

Meaningless statistics. Complaints? What's that mean......you saw a cougar/bear behind the house?

Like you, I think game management by ballot is a bad idea.........but I also think the fear of cougars and bears is WAY overblown.

You know how many people have been killed by cougars in WA since 1900? ONE.

Sounds to me like people are just LOOKING for something to worry about.
