Mountain Lion Chomping Down Deer At PG High
People who use the Pacific Grove High School campus have been warned to remain alert for mountain lions after a deer carcass was found Monday on the school track near the bleachers.
Pacific Grove police said today the dead deer showed signs of having been killed by a mountain lion. The carcass was removed from campus to prevent mountain lions from returning to feed off it, police said.
Glad to hear it’s back. Better keep your barking dogs inside at night . .
Mountain Lion Chomping Down Dogs
A series of attacks on dogs by a mountain lion in Big Sur has left residents shaken and searching for answers. In just the past two months, nine pets have disappeared and perhaps more.
One homeowner told The Pine Cone her two dogs were grabbed by the lion almost as soon as they walked out the front door.
I’m on the lion’s side. There’s too many barking dogs in my neighborhood all day. Message to all P.G. dog owners – keep your pooches inside at night if you do not want to attract our well known cat.
P.G.’s Mountain Lion Lunches At Bleachers
Mountain lion warnings have been posted at Pacific Grove High School and nearby Forest Grove Elementary School after the carcass of a deer apparently killed by a big cat was discovered on campus last week.
The slain deer was found under the visitors’ bleachers at Breaker Stadium at 4 p.m. Thursday, said high school principal Stan Dodd.
No lion was seen, he said, but an animal control officer and state Department of Fish and Game warden confirmed that the carcass was likely a mountain lion kill.
“We’ve alerted everyone,” he said. “We’ve informed everyone to take precautions at the school at night and before dawn. Luckily, the time they’re active is when the kids aren’t here.”
The deer was removed by the Department of Fish and Game to prevent the lion from returning to finish its meal, said Police Chief Darius Engles.
OK, so let’s tick off the lion and steal it’s food. Will it leave or just look for something else to eat?
Mountain Lion Seen At Golf Course
The cat was spotted twice on Friday and police shut down part of the course while officers searched the area.
“We were on the 12th hole and a Fish and Game officer with a high-powered rifle told us we had to vacate the course immediately, there was a mountain lion sighting,” golfer George Roe said.
The same cat was spotted on the course again on Saturday.
The animal is believed to be the same one first spotted in the Pacific Grove area about a year ago. It apparently has found an abundant food source in the deer in the area that are more used to people than predators.
Golfers. Yum, taste like chicken . .
Mountain Lion Sighting – Del Monte Park
Julie Rodewald was just completing her morning run Monday when, two blocks from her Pacific Grove home, she saw something she hoped to never see. Hearing a racket of crows at David Avenue and Clark Lane, she glanced to her right and saw a mountain lion just 20 feet away, headed toward her.

Mountain Lion Or Housecat?
“There have been five sightings in the past week,” reported Paul Jeung, who works as a starter for the golf course.
Jeung said the mountain lion was seen on the back nine, which wraps around the lighthouse, and was described as “pretty small, about 100 pounds.”Several of the sightings have been discounted by P.G. police officers. One “lion” turned out to be a large house cat and another, reported on Jewell Avenue near Sunset Drive, was described as “two feet long,” too small to be anything but a new cub.
