A passer-by reported seeing what appeared to be puma roaming on a hiking trail near Winecreek and Carmel Valley roads in 4S Ranch shortly before 9:30 a.m., according to Lt. Scott Amos.
Deputies searched the area on foot and aboard a sheriff’s helicopter for about 45 minutes, spotting no mountain lion, Amos said.
Sheriff’s personnel will keep an eye out for the animal in the course of their normal duties in the rural community west of Rancho Bernardo, Amos said.
“They’ll certainly be aware that there may be a big cat out there somewhere,” he said.

These predators will prey on the slow, unaware long pork because they have lost their fear of humans due to the idiocy of the electorate who have no clue as to wildlife management. Cannot wait until the first child is killed and then there will continue to be more and more attacks until the electorate figures out that they were lied to in order to pass the prohibition on hunting Mountain Lions. Actions have consequences and California is now experiencing all of the consequences of their fiscal idiocy as well as envirowacko idiocy. Hope you enjoy all that you’re going to experience due to electoral idiocy,
