Hawg Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Wow that lion got her good. When I lived out west my neighbor buried a broad head in a cougars chest from 20 yards off of his front porch. He had a three year old inside the house. We followed the trail but never found it. I had seen a cat earlier that week that at first I had mistaken for a large wounded deer because it was moving so strangely. Took a second for my brain to realize what my eyes were seeing. The old timers out there say that if you suddenly get the hairs on your arms standing up it’s your senses kicking in that a cat is stalking….

Quillback Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I was living in Washington when they banned hound hunting for cougars. If I remember right it was a ballot initiative. Prior to the ban there were no issues with them at all, the numbers were kept under control. Now you've got these periodic attacks. You can still hunt them, but not with dogs. A few usually get shot during elk and deer seasons, but it's not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilletHead Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 As long as we encroach on them, we are part of their potential diet. There was a show on years ago called when animals attack. Cougars would go for joggers and bikers waiting on trails.
