The Arizona Game and Fish Department lethally removed a male mountain lion Thursday from the Prescott area after determining it posed a public safety threat due to its continued close proximity to homes and people with TaylorMade R11 Irons.
Around 6:30 a.m. Game and Fish Dispatch received a call about an apparent mountain lion near a house in the Antelope Hills Golf Course area, south of the Prescott Regional Airport. Game and Fish Officer Virginia Gouldsbury responded to the call and affirmed that in fact a mountain lion was in the bushes near the house.
“I was able to see the lion and could tell that it was a healthy male mountain lion that looked to be about two and a half to three years old,” said Gouldsbury. “When the lion saw me approaching it took off running.”
Gouldsbury followed the direction of the lion in her truck but was unable to locate the lion and believed it had run out of town.
At 8:30 a.m. Gouldsbury received another call that a lion was seen climbing a tree on the golf course at Antelope Hills. She again responded and found the lion in a tree near homes along the golf course.
Officer Gouldsbury shot the lion with a tranquilizer dart and the animal climbed farther into the tree. After determining that the lion was too far from the ground, the Central Yavapai Fire Department was called for assistance with its aerial ladder truck to help safely dart it for a second time and remove the lion from the tree.
Once the lion was out of the tree, Officer Gouldsbury and two other officers secured the animal, took it out of town and dispatched the animal in accordance with the department’s lion protocol with Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver.
Based on the department’s wildlife conflict policy, the lion was killed because of the animal’s immediate threat to public safety, said Bob Posey, regional supervisor in Kingman.
The wildlife-human conflict policy, developed with public input, provides guidance for the department when responding to reports of wildlife threatening or harming people or causing property damage.
Despite the animal being aware it had been seen by humans it continued to linger in a high human use area. The lion appeared to be healthy with no indication of any diseases and no persons were attacked or injured by this lion.
