If ya have to stand and fight better to have something other than nikes.....:o)

I have hunted cougars in the NM Manzano's and they are indeed strong. I'm glad I don't have to endure Cali's Gun Control.

You have hunted cougars? How do you see them before they see you? And what do you mean by "strong?" Have you had some "bullets-wouldn't-stop-'em" type moments?

The ranger also told me that they can be 3 feet away behind a bush and you would never know they were there. He was not trying to scare me.

Kids were running up and down a shrub covered hillside and he had been yelling at them to get down off the hill. The parents were somewhere else.

He told me that he was not trying to keep them out of poison oak - he said there were probably no cougars there at that time, but one would never know. He also said there were rattlers up there. Lovely.
