I've captured a few wild cougars in my time, but I've had the best luck at the grocery store or at a bar.

Sorry

Well, let them go to the cities.

Three 'esses' works in the boonies, and the concrete jungles can have them.

After all, the reestablishment of predators which were virtually eliminated from many rural areas for a reason was a city folk idea, which really appealed to people who would not have critters who viewed them as a hot lunch on the hoof roaming around their back yard.

You don't capture that type of cougar, they only let you think you did...

Gee, and I thought only homosexual males were roaming the parks. I guess heterosexual women who are into younger men have begun prowling openly now.

Sightings are getting common place here on the rural Oregon Coast too.

But anyone wandering on their property or around the area (rain forrest territory) normally carries fire power.

And please yall dont post the human Cougar pics.

That is funny. When did middle aged women who are hotties (in their own minds) get the name of cougars? I see them all the time and snicker at them behind their backs. They are only fooling themselves, they will never look 25 again.

The four legged non human cougars are simply beautiful.

The human version makes me think new epidemic of chlamydia.

A cougar was captured in the Empress Hotel in Victoria BC in 1992.

They also have a group of women calling themselves PUMAs.
Not as old as cougars.
