Found a stool about 10 inches long, 3/4" in diameter, maybe larger, with hair in it. Online it looks like mountain lion scat--exactly like some pics. It is on the driveway 25 feet from our pole building which is about 35 feet from the house.
Also been seeing what looks like cat hair balls, but in clusters of 8 or 10 in each location. Basically white in color.
We have 10 acres. Most of the property is timbered with a fair amount of undergrowth for cover. Driveway is 1,200 feet long and until now, I walk the driveway twice a day to get the paper and the mail. Neighbor on one side has 10 ac. timber, other neighbor has pasture.
Went to Oregon's Fish & Wildlife website (no answer on the phone) and it was basically worthless--"if attacked, fight back" "don't worry they won't attack" and a bunch of nonsense written by people who live in town.
A friend of mine saw one doing the slinky slinky on him just outside his house a few months ago. Several hundred miles from our place, but the fact that it was interested in him shows you can't trust the F&W nonsense, not with your life.
Not really keen on lugging my .357 Ruger Blackhawk around whenever I go outside. And having a gun around handy to ammo isn't a good idea with grandkids.
