  2. Check your property for anywhere a mountain lion could hide. Make sure any sheds are secured and locked and block off areas underneath any decks.
  3.  Keep pets inside at all times. When taking them outside, have them on a leash at all times.
  4. Carry bear spray, something to make loud noise like an air-horn, and a flashlight if it’s dark.

The Idaho State Journal reported that wildlife managers say to take these precautions if you run into a mountain lion:

  • NEVER run away from a mountain lion as their instinct is to chase and catch.
  • NEVER turn your back. Face the mountain lion and make yourself look as big as possible.
  • Slowly back away while maintaining eye contact with the lion.
  • If you are attacked, fight back!

To report a mountain lion sighting in your community, or for any more information, you can contact the Magic Valley Regional Office at (208)324-4359. If you want to learn even more about Wildlife Safety, visit the Wood River Valley Wildlife Smart Communities.
