I’m sitting on my patio and this guy jumps on my fence.
It just sat there looking at me until the dog winded it .

Too close for comfort. I would have taken a shot with something other than a camera.

We had a family of them living in the wooded section next to us , but they seem to come and go .
We haven’t seen one in a while. I’m glad they’re back .

Too residential for that , and they keep the rodent population down.

They are great hunters, cats, dogs etc. We have quite a few. As long as they stay in their space and away from mine, they are cool to watch.

Shot them on sight on the ranch. I regret that now. We never lost so much as a chicken to one. Skunks and raccoons were another story.

We have rats down here attracted to the bird seed on the ground under my feeders .
I’m hoping this guy stays around long enough to put a big dent in the population.
Opossums down here , and Coons , and I know I’ll regret this , but no Skunks yet .

It's good that you were able to keep them from your domestic animals. We get them in the cameras regularly. Like I said, if they stay in their place and not in mine they are great to watch.

Amazing how well they blend into their environment. Can see them when they are moving, but your eyes play tricks trying to see them when they stop.

Crazy how well it was camouflaged. I caught the movement when it jumped on the fence but it took me a couple seconds before I realized what I was looking at .
I got it on video but when the dog winded it I lost it in the frame while trying to control the dog , then it was gone .

I've seen two mountain lions in California. One was in Henry Coe Park. You know they are close to you.

I don’t think I could shoot one now , just to shoot it .
Here is the video and if you stop it you can see it’s looking right at Buddy .
Not a good look , imo ?

I see one every year or so when I’m chukar hunting. Still haven’t shot one.

We don't see them live too often. Maybe a couple a year but it's always easy to tell when one is in pretty close. The deer, pigs and elk will instantly disappear.
This one was at our front gate at the county road.

In 40+ years I have only needed to remove 2. No regrets protecting domestic pets.
