The neighbors use to put a salt lick out for them but the forest service stopped that a couple years ago after all the problems with the cougars coming down to the cabins. One year they had the babies with them and I had one of the babies eating out of my hand while mom stood right there keeping a close eye on things. I'll see if I can get the pics. from my uncle who snapped a few of it. Beautiful animals. Nice pics.

You can get to within 20 yards sometimes of them. WSU use to have a feed station at the south end of the lake a few yrs ago but I believe they stopped it because the cougar's were starting to follow the bighorn's down there. That's the story I got anyways.
