Feeding Wildlife

[gcreek]

Cougar came in and killed 8 of our ewes last night. Dan Lay already was committed to another call so will be here in the morning. Hopefully kitty comes back to feed tonight.

Our latest wolf pack also showed up today. A week late but there should be some pinched toes by morning.

I'll be gone tomorrow until Tuesday. Fill you folks in then on the results.


Ranching would be easy if there was less tooth and claw involved.

Shitty news, Gcreek. Sounds like it's been a never ending battle for you. Have you continued to document everything with pics and videos?

Got lots of photos of deads and injured. Pre 2000 we had very little predator problems but the populations are way out of control. This is the first winter cougar to show at our ranch since 1996. It will likely be a young tom too stupid to follow the deer out when they head for winter ranges. Time will tell.

The last cat I beat to death with an old draper roller from a swather. My dog lived.

Not sure if you live around Kamloops, but I seen Keven Van Dames Cougar trapping ability's, he might be worth giving a call, he's one of the CO's in Kamloops.

I'm about 7 hours from Kamloops and if it was legal for a rancher to do so could catch them myself. Dan's got some young dogs that need a run. He'll be here shortly after daylight.

There may be some hope for you yet. A recent cougar study in Montana[?] showed of nine collared cougars, four were killed by wolves.

Often wondered if it was possible to imbed live landmines in cow moose. Might solve a couple of overkilling issues.

Still waiting to hear about the wolves at your place and the neighbours any luck at either.
Curious about the cat if it was lays you had to come run it do they have to tag it, if not
what do they do with it.
If it was someone that just disposed of it why not have someone with a tag along
so the cat would not be wasted, since the season is open or at least think there is
a open season in your area.

well that was a short story but in fairness its more of a job and less of a recreational hunt i would imagine. glad you took out the offender, now move on to the wolves.

Give the poor guy a break ... he's up to his ass in "teeth and claws." His ass is a fair way's off the ground too ...

Lots going on right now. Will settle down in a couple weeks (or not) and catch everyone up.

Litter mate to kitty showed up a couple days ago. It hasn't made a fatal mistake yet. Live and let live........
