With hindsight we can see things that the victims apparently didn't in the stress of the critical seconds. 

...............

Added opinion based on field experience:  Anyone who has spent much time walking in the woods of WA has had a cougar follow him.

Yikes.  It is always good to hear that, this scares the Cheerios out of me.

It could go either way. He is/was way south of me though.

I can imagine everyone is on edge.   Every puddy cat is going to send up an alert.

I know at least once I've followed.  I was a kid (wild guess but maybe 10?) and walked down a spur road by myself.  It was short.  I got to the end and turned around to walk back.  Cat tracks right on top of my tracks that couldn't have been minutes old.  To say I was scared would be a huge understatement!

It's time for some actual management of the cougar population across the state, plain and simple.  Oh, and wolves too, but I am sure that is asking too much.  :chuckle:

I bet that picture is pushing 10 years old. He's not around anymore. I'll see if I can find the thread. It's vintage HuntWA at it's finest.

I believe we determined the thread was lost in a crash some years back. It was epic to say the least.

Yup... I just found a thread post indicating that. Too bad really.

yep, it’s a goner.   Dman brought more humor to this place, mostly inadvertent and at his own cost, but he was a good sport.    The bobcat, 500 pound blacktails and seems like there was a giant trout too.  :chuckle:  I think there was talk of being a spy too.  :chuckle:

Get a load of this rubbish

https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/cougar-in-deadly-attack-near-north-bend-sent-to-wsu-lab/281-556430828

Brooks Fahy, director of Predator Defense, a wildlife conservation organization, believes humans hunting cougars is partly to blame.

“When human beings get involved in it, such as killing predators, it backfires,” he said. “What we’ve learned is with wolves, cougars, and coyotes is actually killing them has the opposite effect, it throws them in what scientists refer to as social chaos.”

Fahy said that skews the population of cougars to be younger.

“Stereotypically, these are the animals that tend to let themselves be seen, and in quite a few of the attacks that have happened, it’s been younger animals,” he said.
" I have hunted almost every day of my life, the rest have been wasted"
