Despite what proponents of a ballot measure to stop the hunting of bobcats and mountain lions in Colorado claim, hunters say science is on their side. Several hunters reached out to this reporter after he authored an article last week about the so-called “trophy hunting” of bobcats and mountain lions. Initiative 91, on the Colorado ballot this November, would put an end to the practice. An organization supporting hunters, Coloradans for Responsible Wildlife Management, said that the “trophy hunting” language is misleading, and in fact hunters play an important role in ecology.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said it's a "miracle" rookie Ricky Pearsall is recovering days after the team said the player was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery. "He's the toughest person I know, just going through a situation like that," Shanahan told reporters on Thursday, speaking out for the first time on the incident. "We always felt this way watching him on the football field and things like that, but kind of to watch how he handled that situation and watch how he's been every day since, it shows how special the guy is." Pearsall, 23, was seen at practice on Thursday, standing on the field in street clothes holding a football and watching the wide receiver drills, as the team prepared for Monday night's season opener against the New York Jets. The athlete "sustained a bullet wound to his chest" during an attempted robbery on Saturday in San Francisco's Union Square, the San Francisco 49ers said in a statement. He was released from the hospital on Sunday and is expected to make a full recovery.
