I am on your puppy list I wanted you to know my rattie saved my life last night we were in our yard after feeding my bunnies went around the corner to go inside and a cougar was on my front porch my pebbles went for it and the cougar killed her she saved my life the police tracked it last night and fish and wild life were here all day with those Russian tracking dogs the paper is writing a big article on her;(
She was so brave Iam just overcome with grief
She was my baby , snuggle buddy the one bright light in my day.
I am not sure of her location, she has a 509 area code. Anyone seen this on the news?
The wife. :hello:

i would like to see some of your stats on the over harvest of wa. cougars.never heard of this,and am interested in seeing some stats.I think it's from some hugger in WDFW that claims that hunters shoot too many cougars, especially big toms, and the cats lose their 'father figures' so they begin to misbehave and cause a ruckus in town.

This is a result of over harvest by hunters, likely a juvenile that was forced into a urban area.

this study and the game dept. make me sick! the quota a horrible idea. the cougar population is growing out of control because hunters without the use of hounds cannot harvest enough as it is!Yeah, but according to the study and expert, the reason there are so many is because they have been over harvested. According to him they will only breed until the natural balance of the population is in line, then they will stop breeding or producing as many kittens, maintaining the natural balance..........lmao
