umm, yeah, I'd be scared too, then I would grab my gun and what I could carry out to my car, and drive far far away!
After typing that, I looked and saw you live in Hayward, WI?!?!?!?!?
What the HELL? Where is that, and why is there a lion at your door? I grew up just north of Milwaukee, never seen anything like that!0 -

about an hour south of lake superior...
but living in chicago/milwaukee area... crackheads more dangerous0 -
Interesting.....don't know what the status of that species is in Wisconsin. If you were further east or south, I would suspect that it was an escaped pet. You should contact the state fish & wildlife division. If it is an escaped pet, it should be captured and placed in a big cat rehab site. BTW as someone earlier posted, they are a dangerous animal.All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.0

Everyone knows they are dangerous... I also would not feel safe with that on the other side of my regular sliding glass door, I hope you have some thick zoo glass on your house.
wtf, I used to camp/hike/fish up by lake superior, I didn't know there were lions there... that is a big cat!!!0 -

Cougar=Puma=Catamount=Mountain Lion...if I remember right, it has even more common names.All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.

I say embrace nature! If you get eaten, atleast it was for a good cause!0 -
Gawd, Americans are such pansies when it comes to wildlife. Of course, I spent last weekend deep in the woods in a snow cave, so animals don't frighten me. You could have that cat living in your spare bedroom and you would still have a greater chance of being injured, robbed, raped, or killed by some random human being.Idaho's Premier Outdoor Writer

LikeAnOcean wrote:Well, deer around where I grew up were always a problem because of lack of predators. I lived a few minutes from the loop and almost got mauled by a buck a few times walking to the bus stop. More predators are needed to keep the population under control. Mountains lions used to naturally hunt around here a hundred years ago, but man killed them off.

I spend a lot of time in the woods/montains and I have always said that if I get killed by a wild animal, I absolutely insist that no harm comes to it. In fact, my dying wish would be to give the animal a medal of honor.Idaho's Premier Outdoor Writer
