What constantly amazes me is how many unarmed retards we have out here.  You shouldnt get bitten by a cougar while intervening in its attack on your dog.  If you shoot it, youre not within biting distance.  So many grass eaters out here live among apex predators and dont even have guns, its just insane.

It wasn't located too quickly... We got called the next day and had to trail an 18hr old track in 90° weather.  He was an old mean Tom and would not tree.  By the time my hunting partner could get there he had killed my Nosey dog at the bay up.  That cat was bad news, he would have caused more problems if we hadn't killed him.  Probably 12+ years old and skinny

Dang, sad to hear about the pup.

Good job tracking the cat though, not ideal conditions.

Sorry to hear, you can't loose a bad dog, it's always good dogs that get killed because they are in there getting it done.

I’ve never felt the need for a gun when in the woods. Maybe I need to rethink that with the high numbers of predators now?

That sucks about your dog. Hopefully the state has some kind of compensation when that happens, not that you can replace a good dog....

Hardest thing associated with being a houndsman is loosing a dog.  I remember how my cousins felt when they lost dogs, never easy.  Even though you know inside it can happen anytime you cut them loose, still hard.
