immediate eradication of all "dangerous predators".

Did you read the rest of my post? I feel sorry for anyone that looses a loved one in any manner... but I thought I made it very clear that I think there is way too low of a population of predators! There are not enough cougars, bob cats, cyotes, etc. to control the population of deer and rabbits which is causing quite an ecological problem.
Call me! I need some venison.
I felt sorry for the victim upon hearing about the death on the news last night. If I was any way related to the victim I would want the immediate eradication of all "dangerous predators".
Living in Central Oregon I view the predator problem a bit differently. Here I feel there is a lack of predators and the deer population has exploded in the last 10 - 15 years. There was a doe on my driveway the other morning that was suckling three fawns. I didn't even think that was possible!?!?!? It blew my mind! The deer population is so thick in my area there is a chronic respiratory illness spreading around the population. In the past 5 years I have had to dispose of 4 dead deer on my property. Not a one of them had a scratch on them. There is no governmental disposal of dead wild animals unless you decide to move the carcass to a public road in the middle of the night... which I do not do.
So if you want to cull the predator population come over and harvest some deer first... a LOT of deer first! You can use my back deck as a stand and I will even buy you a beer... after the rifles have done their job and have been put away!
Recent Mt Hood hiker found dead and suspected victim of cougar attack. Earlier this summer two bicyclists were attacked and one killed.
Are there too many cougars? The wife and I are " discussing intensely". She hikes and is getting fearful, and will not carry a firearm. I say we are in the part of the predator / prey cycle where there are too many predators and not enough prey.
Anyone care to share their learned opinions?
Are cougar, wolf, bear, coyote populations too big for the current elk, deer , prey populations?

I know you are not suggesting poaching as a method of deer control........So if you want to cull the predator population come over and harvest some deer first... a LOT of deer first!

I don't know what part of Redmond you live in but I have lived there since the city limit sign said POP 4,500. While not currently in Redmond (LaPine area now) I used to go to Redmond often to visit people and in all fairness would hear of issues with deer wandering into neighborhoods & subdivisions and residents complaining of their plants & shrubbery being eaten but quite frankly this is more a problem of increased human population moving into the outlying areas as opposed to lack of predators.There are not enough cougars, bob cats, cyotes, etc. to control the population of deer, rabbits and other game which is causing quite an ecological problem in Central Oregon.
The deer, rabbits and other game are 'causing' quite an 'ecological problem'? Care to explain what 'ecological problem' that would be exactly? Especially the rabbits - Quite frankly I can hardly find enough to make a stew from......the population of deer, rabbits and other game which is causing quite an ecological problem in Central Oregon.
So what is the best way a woman should carry if she does not have chl while hiking? if carried open carryno lawful problem? but she'd have to contend with Portlandia antigun types. If carried in a fanny pack, that would be concealed?
Those aren't murdering, robbing humans... Them there are the liberals constituents... Be nice now...Get rid of them. Why?
They make a pretty good argument to liberals that don't feel we need guns?
For some reason being surrounded by murdering robbing humans doesn't scare them.
So you are saying, people don't really own their property even if it's paid for. Is it true tou can't hunt on your own land without permission?I would love to!!!!!!! Too bad it is illegal for a land owner to harvest the meat from game that drops dead on their land... and a huge no-no to kill game on their own land!
I love venison! The way the tag system works I would have to go several hours away to hunt for deer.
The wild animals are what makes the forest wild. Eliminating predators (if possible) only makes things worse. I would not want backwoods without predators. We would be overrun with prey animals then and the balance would be all out of whack.
