Mountain Lion Kills One Brother, 21 & Traumatic Injuries to 18-Year-Old Brother.

Georgetown, CA...At 1:13pm, yesterday the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call from an 18-year-old male who reported that he and his 21-year-old brother had been attacked by a mountain lion in a remote area of Darling Ridge Rd. and Skid Rd., Georgetown, CA. The reporting party suffered traumatic injuries to his face and was separated from his brother during the attack.




At 1:34pm EDSO Deputies and Paramedics arrived in the area, located the reporting party and began to administer aid to him. Additional Deputies began the search for the unaccounted brother. At around 1:46pm Deputies observed a crouched mountain lion next to a subject on the ground. The mountain lion was between the Deputies and the subject on the ground. Deputies discharged their firearms scaring the mountain lion off so they could render aid. Unfortunately, the male subject was deceased.

Wardens and Trappers from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife along with the El Dorado County Trapper responded to the area, located the mountain lion, and dispatched it.

Mountain Lion encounters

I've always been amazed that there haven't been more encounters between mountain lions and humans. Especially in California.
I've lived in Calaveras County for 50 years and have only seen a mountain lion 3 or 4 times. My dogs bring 3 to 4 deer legs home every year. You know the big cats are out there.

    Been here 32 years. Seen many on our property. Never had any issues, granted some chickens ect. Once as a teenager I was unfortunately hiding outside in the dark from my drunken father. Story short, one walked passed me and stopped realizing I was there. I was terrified but stayed still and he went on his merry way. It's very rare for them to attack humans.

Lions are predators by nature - just be careful and very aware when hiking or out in the woods.

            And is broke, begging for money, and just barely keeping ahead of his date in the slammer.

            Anyone with hair that needs to be styled, then sprayed does not have nice hair.
            Trump's Hair Stylist is probably treated like a King in that corporation.

              No wonder why you don't have a woman in your life with those sweet remarks about their hair. I hope you don't say that to Anti too do you?
