Although coyotes, wolves, bob cats and bears are detrimental to game and domestic animals, the mountain lion is enemy No. 1. His favorite victims are deer, horses and cattle. Hunters are paid by the Biological Society, San Carlos Indians and CCC-ID hunt lion continuously but the increase seems to offset the number killed. The above picture was taken on Salt Creek, 20 miles from San Carlos and the lion is one of the 5 killed by Larsen in one day.
