Agree, and I suspect that Momma had a run-in with an auto. Happened twice to me.

Just to say that they have not evolved a way to dodge cars. From what I read and observe, they freeze and then head off in a random direction, to confuse predators. This has a high chance of accidents, because autos are real fast, and don't maneuver like a mountain lion. And mountain lions do get them.

Thinking of moving away from the country (as in rural).
