Lol....indeed.

There have been quite a few in McPherson County. The response is always the same: "We are the state fish and game and we are better than you. You are some stupid country boy that can't tell a puma from a bobcat; never mind the fact that cougers are learned about in every elementary school science class known to man."

Hey RW good to see ya. I don't think cougars are nearly as rare as they are shy, smart and stealthy. One sees the attacks on humans in California because all the enviros have over populated the area and over-stressed the natural resouces there. Here in Kansas almost the oppposite. We have allowed the lower portion of the food chain to flourish un-hunted. We have plenty of food and water even without livestock being targeted. We have large areas of land along the major rivers that is fairly pristine and untravelled. Nature fills the vacuum quickly.
