If you hunt Mule Deer enough (or any species on SRP and PF), you know how annoying the mountain lions/pumas are. Lynx also cause critters to flee on Medved and Revontuli, and the wolves are self explanatory on their three maps. It would be nice if we had a menu option to limit or delay the respawning of predators that could be activated or deactivated at will and had the ability to be customized per map. The other benefit this would have, aside from being able to manage the predator population, is to increase the prey species population. Just an idea these dang cougars are giving me currently, thanks!

It's really annoying when the moose and brown bear run away from the lynx on medved or revontuli

Honestly, I don't mind the animals chasing prey either, we should just be able to actually manage the population of predators. I have way too many cougars and wolves on my maps.

Y'all like mountain lions and lynx ruining every single hunt or something?? This is a customizable feature you wouldn't have to use but others who want it could.

I feel like that is better solved with a lower, more spread out mtn lion population and changed predator mechanics. Not a whole new feature.

Ultimately, yeah. They just completely overrun SRP and PF as it stands.

I already proposed a viable solution in my thread & honestly yes I prefer predators to act as predators with both huntable prey & be territorial. As a predator hunter both in-game & IRL predators need reworked heavily with alternate methods to hunt them aside from the E-Caller & better ai behaviors. However, in your defense and others I too agree population spawns are too high & should be greatly reduced with the exception of Foxes, Coyotes, Gators, & Crocs. Predators may share an area but typically stay in their territory unless they are short of food, looking for a mate, or another predator or an individual pushes them out of their territory. Prey should also act as prey and in RNG cases should fight back to deter a predator over fleeing. Also to note RNG predator standoffs should also be applied towards players & other predators unless they are cowardly by nature with larger predators. If Badgers & Wolverines are introduced I would expect EW to get this right.
Here is my predator thread if you wish to look it over. https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1316561266223087676

Pumas and mountan lions should stop hunting around lakes shore. It's annoying.

Another option would be having certain predator species like wolves, cougars, and lynx respawn half the time, while the other half a prey species spawns instead. Give us the option to limit respawns without wiping the predators off the map.
