This year has been exceptionally scary with the multiple mountain lion sightings within a block of our house. So far a cat and dog have gone missing. We are totally freaked out that Bandit is being tracked…

Just yesterday, Leif amd Skyler, as they drove off to ski team at 7:30 am, saw a huge (~160 lb) male lion cross over Zinc Spur road right in front of them. Apparently the lion looked up and them, wasn’t phased in the slightest, and continued on. Our neighbor tracked him into this culvert where fish and game tried to get him out of to not avail. He left at nightfall and has not been back.

Update as of a few days later: the male lion was spotted in Hailey and Fish and Game had to shoot it as it was getting way too comfortable around humans…
