I didn't see it, but my neighbor did. He took a shot at it but missed (dang him for trying). I searched for and found his tracks on my parcel.<br /><br />Cougars are far more common down here than I am truly comfortable with. I hear sighting reports all the time up and down the valley. He oughtn't be able to get into the chicken coop at night, but I worry about him jumping the fence and making off with one of my domestic cats. I probably shouldn't worry since rabbits and hares are so abundant down here, and if he's really hungry there are calves to be had.Desert Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656526816699347744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-74011997990865216132010-04-01T16:46:24.783-07:002010-04-01T16:46:24.783-07:00hyde -- fascinating, but wish I could verify it!

Last year the near west side of Chicago had a cougar scare which turned out to be a young 2 yr old male originally from eastern Montana according to his tag. Ended up dead when the police cornered it in a dead end alley. From all the signs on him he'd been traveling for about 4 months. Brookfield Zoo said he was the right age to have been kicked out of mom's area and forced to find his own with females and no other males around. Not to easy to find in these days.JeanWhttp://mountnbird.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-58365352642344751412010-03-23T13:01:05.384-07:002010-03-23T13:01:05.384-07:00Very cool indeed!
