A group that researches big cats in the Bay Area is setting up bait stations around the region’s foothills in an effort to catch mountain lions roaming near neighborhoods.
The Bay Area Puma Project captures the animals --including one recently taken into custody at a Mountain View apartment complex -- to release them safely in the wild.
Wednesday, the group spent the day setting up capture stations in the foothills of San Jose and in the East Bay.
Tim Weber says he's all for the traps. On Wednesday, the San Mateo man showed NBC Bay Area the wooded area behind his home on Fernwood Street, where he says he encountered a 100-pound mountain lion on Tuesday and again Wednesday morning.
