A friend of mine took these pictures of a cougar. He lives right outside of Yellowstone, and the cougar apparently wanted to get inside of his house.

I'm sure he discovered that his rifle wasn't of much use to him out there. Perhaps a secure place in the house now?
The sad reality is that when people stop being the top predator, the beasts of the field begin to eye us for our caloric content.
The historic hunting of predators is essential if predators are to be kept fearful enough of man for us to allow their survival into the future.
And only an armed citizenry can do such hunting because only the individual citizen is on the spot at the time such killing is necesssary.
Keep all AgencyPersons out of the loop - they will be too late, too expensive, and too ineffectual.
Well thank you for teaching this old dog a new trick :-) guess I should of realized it was different then how we delt with black bears. Black Bears are mainly just a pain. Big Cats, I should of know, are killers.
Lived in southern Oregon for 15 years in a rural area. Cats weren't a problem until the city people passed a law against hunting them with dogs. Numbers increased until people started losing pets and livestock. We couldn't let our grandkids play outside alone.
Moved 8 years ago and the problem is worse now than when we left. They're beautiful animals but they have to be kept in check.

Bwhahaha!
"Are cougars and mountain lions the same?"
The short answer is "YES".
For why, go to www.evergladesinstitute.org and read the report by the lead scientist at the National Cancer Institute's Genomic Research Lab.
Briefly, analysis of the mitochondrial DNA and the distance between alleles disproved the fifteen previously identified subspecies in North America.
Same cats, different Endangered Species fraud.
There's got to be a "Chuck Norris Fact" in here...
The mother cat, A.K.A FP 124 and her juveniles, FP 125 & FP 126 were within a few yards when we were backing the research boat into its parking place. Take it from me, they also make a chirping sound much like a bird.
Since birds usually don't make sounds at night, the chirping is usually a couguar.
De nada, senor.
(I guess it's what I get for being raised in the Rockies. AND Alaska...)
Once he realized he wasn't seeing a rival or a potential mate in the glass.....he walked away.
"Possible or maybe some take pity and just give it a nice blast of rocksalt to learn it."
There is no evidence that any aversive conditioning is 100% effective once a predator loses its fear of man.
Or, if it is a coddled and cosseted government "Endangered" predator, it never learned that it was not the top predator. All this is part and parcel of the "Communism Lite" crowd's agenda.
That is why both AgencyPersons and animal rights freaks agree that animals have equal value with humans. And some of those whackos think the animal is more valuable.
That cat looks deadly series.
LOL.
Are you gonna open the door to shoot him??
With what? With 300 Winmag I could shoot through the door- there will be more than enough energy left. With an AKS-47- yes [one could do legal bursts]. With a 9mm pistol - no.
Scary. Beautiful animal, though.
Your neighbor needs a quieter can opener!
If you never had money for food, you'd look serious, too.
