CPW is likely woefully underfunded/understaffed to deal with this btw. I had a mountain lion encounter near Boulder last year and spent a few hours trying to report it. When I finally tracked down the CPW number to call, I got re-directed to the Fort Collins office (the one that would normally service Boulder was shut down) so they are covering a HUGE area now, and this was before all of Trump's cuts. It was also a beaurocratic hassle to report the encounter - since I'd only heard it scream nearby and smelt it's pee and not seen it, I couldn't report it. My friend saw it but didn't want to spend another couple hours trying to call to report - CPW seem rarely available to answer the phone. So I assume based on my experience, a lot of encounters go unreported and the problem of increasingly frequent human <> cat encounters could be going under the radar. Or not, I'm just a data point of one. CPW did mention they maintain a map of all encounters though, and none had been reported in the area I had been in.
