Killer Cats

[northof49]

Saw this on the Alberta forum. Alberta study on cats that seemed appropriate to post here in light of all the recent predator talk.

Good read thanks for posting

Saw it on AOF.
It has been reported many times before that a cat will take up to 50 deer a year (a few more)
Was really surprised that 1 cat killed 18 moose in less than a year.:shock:

Want to see a surprising one look into coyotes

There is a reason Americans hunt the hell out of them. In BC they seem to get overlooked as predators

Coyotes are brutal. That’s why we wack everyone we can.

I have been on two cougar hunts with hounds, both above OK falls to the east. One successfully treed female and one nice tom which my buddy harvested. The fellow that owned the hounds lived in OK falls and only hunted that area for cats. The same guy who took me out there shot a nice bobcat less than 2km from downtown OK falls again in the eastern hills above town.

Also anyone have an active original link? Not working for me, would like to see the statistics.

Cougar attacks 6-year-old girl this morning

Cougar that attacked 6 year old girl has been found & euthanized 3 days after the attack.:D

The female cat, between 2 and 4 years old, was found in a tree in the area. Rangers sedated the cat and extracted DNA to confirm it was the same animal that had scratched and bit the child Sunday. It was.
The cat weighed about 70 pounds.
3 children ages 4, 3 & 6 have been attacked by cougars in California in the last 9 months but of course the tree huggers will say it’s extremely rare.

This is believed to be the cougar that attacked the 6-year-old.
