It's a 2-year-old male mountain lion, about 130 pounds, and he's been removed from the population.

They actually saw the lion.

Our lion numbers have been stable. They aren't increasing as much as they were a few years ago, and our prey base has recovered. That's certainly a big key .... When there's abundant deer, we typically have fewer problems with lions.

It did return last night, presumably to feed on the goat carcass, and it was caught and removed.

He killed the goat and drug it over to the fence, but it's a woven wire fence so he couldn't drag it over so he tried to drag it through.

Previously we've had just the two cells down there and for a population of this size those two cells are going to be inadequate.
