My buddy asked me to post for him.

Grandkids were on the way to the Bus stop this morning when they saw this nice big tom cougar crossing the road. Shelby ran back and got a gun then ran down and Cody shot it. My cows are right in the middle of calving and this is only a quarter mile from them. Last year one of these killed a calf and we ended up killing four cougar right here around the cows. Plus one yesterday all total five in less 11 months.

4 years old 120 lbs Tom Cougar. Not bad for Bus Stop.

We would love to just chase them off with the dogs but the Law wont allow that so we are forced to kill every one we see to prevent livestock losses.

Way to go, NICE!! Keep up the good work!

phssssssst, like the wolves, the dept. don't think there is a problem anywhere with cats!!

Been that way for years! We all know the cats are solitary and keep to themselves!

I was wondering why the cougar would be taking a bus.

Nice.

That is great. Way to go kids. It is to bad in this day and age if they post that story on a social media site the parents would get ridiculed for the kids having access to a useful tool =gun.

Cougar seem to be attracted to bus stops, I used to drive truck and seen a lot of cougar not far from bus stops. I think all the kids' chatter pique's their curiosity.

Seems to be more cats this time of year down low, I know of three different cats just in the last week, hopefully the one the kids got is the same one thats been around our place.

Beautiful cat and photo. You should always hug a cat now and then. Keep your family in cougar tags and you are fine. Run out let me know I have one!
