Just talked to my dad over on the property in Colville.
We are having some surveying done to adjust and purchase some more lanSeems that while out walking the property, a young cougar thought he was going to get a free meal. While marking the boundary stake, he got a weird feeling and looked up and a cougar was crouched down about 15 yards or so away staring him in the eye. Of course, like an idiot, the old man was unarmed. His .44 mag sitting on the dining room table.
He yelled and waved and the cat, stodd up and cam e a little closer, then meandered away and circled down below him and started coming back up the hill to him again. About this time, the dogs started barking down the hill as they got let out of the house and the cat decided to go away.
All the calling for Coyotes and Cougars/Bears, and nothing, and now they are apparently everywhere. Saw 3 bears and 6 coyotes in the last week. Guess it is time to thin out the dogs, and wait patiently for bear and cougar season.
Dad is pretty worried about the local fawns and his dogs. Hopefully the cougar will not come down the extra 200 yards and wind up in the driveway...........
