What I don't understand is why the Leo/ game wardens shot "at" the cougar rather than shooting to kill it. That cougar will catch another snow flake on a bike here in a week or 2. Maybe that's the plan.
The true mark of a man is not how he conducts himself during times of prosperity, but how he conducts himself during times of adversity.

Cougar and bear attacks are both rare. The cats that myself and other hunters I know that have been called in here in NW Oregon while elk hunting basically got out of sight quickly after discovering that humans were there and not elk. Only issue I've had has been bears with cubs. Curious whether that might be because a cat that comes in to an elk call is surprised to not find what he expected to find vs. a nearby cat that hears an approaching noise, such as a jogger, gets in ambush position, and then decides whether to attack or not when he sees what it is? I wonder how many cats you've walked under/by that simply decided not to attack you for whatever reason? It does seem to be rare though, as you say, or at least you don't hear that much about attacks and when you do it's always the humans fault for being there  . Being I wasn't there, My guess was biker passing by and cats instinct to chase him down kicked in. Really no clue. This time of year, the cat shouldn't be starving. My closest call wasn't as spooky as my bad bear encounters but, my friends encounter rattled him bad. I'm sure cats have stalked us calling that we've never seen.

I was attacked by a cougar when I was 17. One of my greatest teenage memories. Had it happen to me but I was a little older as was she. Did see one in Skyline on a bow hunt in the late 70's. Had a racoon in his mouth. 25 yards. No doubt what I saw. It was cougar. I saw one in Troy AL in the 80's. The neighboring club was running dogs and it came off of their place and laid down up against a downed tree on the logging road I was watching. Just sat there squatted for an hour and a half with it's ears pinned back and the only thing that ever moved on it was it's tail. It finally slinked back off in the swamp. My dad had seen it earlier in the season and told me if I shot it he would beat my @$$. Might have been an escaped pet but like you I know what I saw.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

20 posts in a thread about cougars and not one single comment from Outback? The man MUST be dead. Someone call and check!! Seems like y'all got it covered. I'd have to stalk the nursing homes, to hunt cougars anymore.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

I saw the story on fox6 and that's what they said. the term shooting "at" stuff ticks me off for some reason. unless you are talking about shooting at doves lol.
