Wyoming hunter bags deer, then hungry lion

Retired orthopedic surgeon Chris Smith thought his hunt was over when he bagged a white tail deer with a bow and arrow near Sheridan.

And the lion waited for him to return with the license?

Its a real shame the lion did not eat him!!!!!!

Plentiful deer are food and good to eat. Killing a mountain lion is totally unnecessary.

[thomas paine]

It goes to show what i have been saying for 60 years, all hunters are F*cked up

[HEARTLESS]

agreed. They lack empathy and sensitivity. I would never trust a "man" or "woman" who did this.

:(

Exactly what did the hunter expect? Who leaves a carcass out in the wilderness overnight?

What a sad story...

Talk about entrapment...Poor cat

A lot of hunters will leave the animal overnight. It said in the article light was fading. For an ethical kill, it was prudent to leave the animal to die quickly, rather than pushing it causing it more pain. As for shooting the mountain lion, what he did was absolutely LEGAL. It says he even called the fish & game dept. You pussies need to quit whining.

I taw I taw a puddy cat!

Imagine you're a deer. You're prancing along. You get thirsty. You spot a little brook. You put your little deer lips down to the cool, clear water - BAM. A f**kin' bullet rips off part of your head. Your brains are lying on the ground in little bloody pieces. Now I ask ya, would you give a f**k what kind of pants the son-of-a-b*tch who shot you was wearing?

do you know how much havoc those "cats" cause on livestock. Some ranchers will give 2-300 dollars for a set of cat ears from their property. If those poor cats would only eat the jackrabbits and coyotes, things would be different..

A lot of morons commenting from the East who think beef comes from a plastic wrapped package in the grocery store. He guy got a license to shoot the lion. All perfectly legal. Go back to aborting your babies...

who cares

[thomas paine]

I got news for you Dan D$ck head , Since 1974 Abortion is also legal. Thank goodness, or there would be a lot more of you Functional Idiots west of the Mississippi.

Typical save the tree kill the child attitude--seems rather uneducated and twisted to me. I understand now why the West is so desirable--rational realistic-minded individuals simply prefer folk who employ common sense and have no time for stupidity.

Mountain lion population is increasing more and more each year--oh, yeah despite the "plentiful deer" here, lions look at people as good to eat also--no doubt way easier to catch.

Hunting is a necessary to control population and the spread of disease in heards that are too large--believe me, I live here and there is over-population of white-tail deer. I supposed you would rather see a deer die of wasting disease or black tongue ya--that's much more humane. As far as the mountain lion, there are too many of them also, and I would like to see a major decrease in white-tails, cougars, bears and wolves and an increase in mule-deer and elk.

I must correct typo--it's herds, this comment from "Heartless" was so disturbingly stupid I forgot to spell-check. I guess the early untrustworthy settlers and frontiersmen should have shopped at their local Wal Mart supercenter for food.
