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.
