The leftists in the socialist state of Washington made cougar hunting with hounds illegal about 20-25 years ago. Said it was in humane.
Even with their population increase, it's taken that long for the cats to kill all the deer in the mountains, now they are down here looking to eat.
Still quite a bit of mangey, inbred lowland deer for them to hunt, but as the video shows, they are hunters of most anything. It will happen eventually, someone will get attacked.
There was a bounty on them for a reason.
The pic is of my Grandpa in 1930, in his best Standard Oil uniform.
Getting your picture taken back then was a big deal, you dressed up.
And yes, he used hounds on all his cat hunts.
