Title: Twisp Cougar killed on the way to bus stop
Post by: mulehunter on January 28, 2015, 08:51:05 AM: 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. :tup:

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.

:hunter:

Post by: KFhunter on January 28, 2015, 05:57:26 PM: 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.
