Yawn….. when they located the mt caribou to the purcell range the EK was crawling with cougars and wolves where on a steep rise. It was nothing to go out and tree multiple cats a day, problem was there were too many cougar hunters, so anything with even a bit of size was dead. The rest just got chased around every day, and had to keep killing anything they could find as they all got chased off their kills everyday. It was nothing to see truck after truck with dog boxes at tim hortins in the wee hours of the morning in Cranbrook any day of the week, but especially weekends. Those guys were late BTW, someone was already sitting on the fresh tracks since 3 am….and you know this. Who needed to buy hounds, many were free, everyone and their dog had dogs? That how it was there a dozen years ago when the transplant happened and mule deer, and some wt areas were already in the tank.
I know thats changed big time….. when people realize all the game were getting ate by claw and fang they took it upon themselves to manage the situation. End of story. From what I hear it worked!!
10-15 years of the same old tripes, oh the poor cougars!
Ya wants some big cats LBM, come to northern Alberta, a few 200-220 lbs cats killed every year? Next to no one has hounds. Too many wolves. Big cats!!
226lbs iirc
