[or-roots] Sumtin besides cars

[Harguess, Dale]

I don't think the guy that got eaten by one last year here in Orange
County would agree with you.  Neither would the lady who got her face
ripped off by the same cat.  What I mean is that I don't think they are
afraid of people any more.

Save the poor cougar .They are very wary of people and will usually run
the other way.The only problem now is they have run out of places to
run.Over population in rural areas.Ok ok off my soap box lol  Barb

	In 1950 I was a Junior at Oregon State College (now University)
and was studying Geology.

	On a Field Trip in the John Day Country, I was hiking up a small
hill doing Geology Stuff.  When I topped the Hill I was about 20 feet
away from a Couger!

	Complete Dumb set in and I drew my trusy .22 Hi Standard Pistol
and Blazed away.  I must have fired about 8 shots.  Then I turned and
ran down the Hill and the Couger turned and ran down his side of the
hill. We had reaslly scarred each other!!  Knowing now how hard it is to
hit a trget at 20 feet when fireing without aiming, I'm sure all I hit
was the ground around the Couger.
