For all you outdoor types, next time you go wandering off in the woods, keep in mind that this is the kind of predator that is out there with you. Here in California, it has been illegal to hunt them for decades, so they have lost their fear and respect for people. There are so many that every year the "teenagers," so to speak, wander down into the agricultural and urban areas seeking new territory, since all the good areas in the mountains are already taken. To them, you are just a slow deer, a tasty turtle burger. Think about that as the fire burns low and you fall asleep in your tent way out in the backcountry.
