Cougar Captured in our Neighborhood
This Cougar was captured in our Neighborhood by the Fish & Game just two days after we observed three sets of paw prints in the snow of our backyard, each more than twenty feet apart and culminating in an obvious feast on Wild Turkeys. The Fish & Game Department has reported that the Deer population is down 30% in our area because of the plethora of Cougars roaming about. They probably transported this beautiful animal to Southern Utah. We are confident this is the animal that defecated on our porch a few weeks earlier. Lori thought it was teenagers pranking us and I informed her that this was not the results of teenagers! Some people have signs in their homes indicating “Beware of Dog”. We have a sign, “Beware of Cougars” in our window!
