“Dangerous” is a relative term. Here in rural central Missouri, I have seen cougar. I have seen what are left of deer that is consistent with being killed by cougar. But cougar are only dangerous to people who cannot defend themselves in the rare event they should be attacked.

When I walk the dog at night along a private road in the woods, I carry a side arm. One of the reasons that cougars are “dangerous” is where laws prevent people from being properly armed. It seems there are too many politicians whose policy of achieving victory over danger of any kind is to be defenseless.

We find carcases on the golf course all the time, here in the Black Hills it is nothing to see cats running across the highways. Just last year there were three cats hit on the roads by cars. Dogs go missing and the people that raise Lamas are really up in arms over missing stock. A friend of mine lost a Doe , a buck and a fawn to the same cat before GFP did a damn thing so he shot it when it came for a 4th one. Man were they PISSED.
