A Little Montana Humor

This morning before work I encountered several deer crossing the street in a residential neighborhood one block off the main street in town. They went between two houses and, when I looked, there were probably 10 deer there.
Later, I was telling one of my coworkers about it and she pulled out her phone. She said this is the cutest part of having deer in your neighborhood, and showed me a picture of a huge paw print she had taken in her back yard.
Apparently the mountain lions follow the deer into the neighborhoods.

That is a nice story. I see deer here, but they tend to be mangled in the road and I feel bad when I see that. I would love to see them out and about walking through town.

mountain lions would help with keeping people inside

Sounds like goats take over empty Welsh streets during coronavirus lockdown.

Not here so much. In general we are pretty heavily armed.
Just a couple weeks ago, before the hysteria began, I saw a guy with a dead lion in the back of his truck.

Mobile food chain. Have to think all this new reintroduction into populated areas will see some wildlife pay a price when things 'get back to normal' by no fault of their own. We'll always have stragglers but not at these numbers.
