Four Dog-killing Cougars killed by Montana FWP Wardens

[patocazador]

A female cougar and her 3 cubs killed 2 dogs near Missoula so the FWP wardens killed them. If it had been the feds, it would have taken 3 years of court orders and BS to probably fine the dog owners.

Fortunately, there are very few cougars (called Florida panthers down here) in my area. They are mostly young males trying to establish new territories.
They kill a lot of goats and some calves in south Florida but they decimate the deer population down there.

We had a big cat on the ranch this year which probably spooked most of the deer onto private land parcels, where dogs and people would likely pressure the lion to stay on the relative quiet of the ranch. ..........yes they are deadly on deer. Where the wolves seem to do more damage on the elk.

i've seen several cougars at a distance and one up close.   Several years ago i was tracking a wounded hog down a ravine.   Looked up to see a big male cougar sitting on the bank  about 20 yards away switching his tail and licking his face.   Immediately put a 240 grain XTP bullet in his chest.

Not quite. California overwhelmingly voted for Hillary.
