Mountain lion killed in Lamoille Valley
Charles Meeserly-Palmer and Will Roberts trapped in Lamoille Valley killed a large mountain lion about two weeks ago near the Voight ranch. The hide measured nine inches from tip to tip and sold for $25 in Lamoille. The animal likely came from the Ruby Mountains and could have preyed on cattle if not shot. It is the first mountain lion killed in the area in years. The captors kept the hide on display locally.
