Cougar Attack! (4 legged!)

[RVTECH]

Well, not exactly an attack but apparently one jumped up and put it's paw on the side window of one of my vehicles to look in.

The ground was damp from a little rain and it had pine pollen stuck on it's paws!

Cougar voyeurs are everywhere these days.

Imagine how neato it would have been if you were in the driver's seat at the time.

If say a guy were to be sitting in the car and that cat jumped up to say hello, that would make me afraid for my life so I would probably shoot it thru the window cuz I ain't waiting for it to get inside.

Is that a good shoot?

AND

Do I get to keep the skin?

I suspect if your windows were closed you would not have had to have been 'afraid for your life'....

Personally I see them as a noble creature HOWEVER If they are causing a problem, killing commercial food animals or other threat well then yes - then they need to be removed - not unlike any other problem animal - but under normal circumstances I don't see them as HUGE problem.

In Oregon you would not be able to retain the animal on a human health and safety shoot. Good shoot? Some of the odfw tree huggers would probably want you cited . SSS

Worst I get at my place are coyotes but I'm not to worried about them. I wouldn't let my dog engage with one but I carry mace and stuff on walks - especially pre dawn as tha is when they tend to be off the refuge and in the neighborhoods

My better half says the same thing to me.... that's why I recognized the schituation.

Tell her that there is more than one way to moisturize them.

I have bears, cougars and coyotes here.



But they usually stay away from the houses - mostly due to the neighborhood dogs. The pic above was taken on the lower part of a neighbor's property where a creek runs thru.

OTOH, if I see my motion lights around the property turn on at night, I often choose my Shockwave to accompany me if I go outside to check on stuff. Usually it is brush near the light sensor that sets it off when it is windy, but other times it is probably a racoon/porcupine or something like that. Just the same, the last thing I want to do is stumble upon a nosy bear or cougar when it is dark and they feel cornered/threatened. I have seen bear scat within 50 yards of my house.

And could be considered 4 legged, if traveling with a wing man!
