Mountain Lions and Wolves Involved in Platte River Ranch Incident
A Mountain Lion killed one cow on Healey ranch near Platte River. Initial reports blamed lions after sightings, but investigators concluded wolves were the culprits. A hunter posse pursued lions Friday. Winthrop Condict killed a lion weighing about 100 pounds. Dogs tracked more lion trails, and hunts continued. Ranchers plan to cull both lions and wolves after recent sightings.
