By the way, that cougar was still alive. That is a State Relocation Ranger holding the kitty. He had taken down a couple head of cattle one of my free grazers had on the property. So we went on a hunt hoping that we could track him in the snow by the paw prints. We found him and darted him. We got him to the 4 x 4 and carried him back down to where the Ranger left his cage. He was going to drop him off a couple of hundred miles from here as they are know to range about 100 miles to look for food.

I am glad that we could take him alive instead of killing him. That would have been a shame.

Now he is a good kitty.

Very Nice ED! 5,000 acres in New Mexico... sounds like you have room for west cost gathering. I know Dee and his crew does a GREAT job on the South East Gathering, I'd love to see one on the other side of the country as well. Just sayin'  Food for thought.  :P

great pics, I would post some pics of my place but you would just be looking at my back yard fence and the street in the front. Wildlife consists of birds and the occasional dog being walked by neighbors.  ;) :D ;D :'(

I'd love to be able to attend a gathering; something that is completely new to me, but sounds like lots of good camaraderie.
