The author Peter Capstick commenting on the practice in the American west of treeing cougars and then lassoing them out of the tree.
Was this in reference to the Lee brothers in Tucson, AZ. They traveled the west capturing pumas for ranchers who were
loosing sheep or cattle.
Mr. GG2 used to be a govt bounty hunter and he said you track the cougar up the ridge all day and if you don’t get a shot they track you down the ridge in the evening. I think Leopards and Jaguars are more aggressive.
Anybody remember that episode where Les Stroud was camping out in S America and a Jaguar came around? He was hot footing it back to a village in the dark with the thing right behind him.
Possibly. I don't really remember the total context, I just remember his comment about the leopard's response.
