Here is an email I received today & links to some pictures.....
HI This was going around the hotel today. Guess it happened up at Lake Minnewanka Wednesday night. Pretty amazing.
Last night a couple of my staff went fishing on the lake and captured this incredible sequence of photos of a cougar making a kill. To see this is once in a lifetime. At the same time, our 6:00 pm wildlife cruise had just left the dock and the staff members in the fishing boat had the presence of mind to call on their cell phone to alert our tour drivers. This is what they saw happening. The cougar is about 6 feet long, not including tail (a big full grown cougar) and his victim was a 4 year old Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep. (a Ram) He never had a chance.
