Not far from where Ryan and I used to live in Chicago, this cougar was shot and killed yesterday.
This is a proper 150 pound wild cougar...hanging out in Chicago...for real. AWESOME!!
So you can read all about it HERE where they speculate that this wild beast may have travelled all the way to Chicago from the Black Hills of South Dakota.
ENCOUNTERING A COUGAR
- Pick up children immediately.
- Do not approach it. Give the cougar an avenue for escape.
- Do not run; this can trigger an attack.
- Back away without turning your back on it.
- Do all you can to look bigger. Don't hide or crouch down.

scary!
My Dad's neighbor loses about 50 sheep each year from cougar attacks. Last year, Dad shot one that he trapped in a tree. He had it mounted and put in his entry way. The kids use the back door now!
How cool is this?
Very cool indeed!
Looks to me like we need to go visit mcc's dad. He lives in a very exiciting place.
I love your blog!
He lives in Yoncalla OR on 850 acres of timber. I'm sure he'd love some company, but you have to also like to hunt Elk, ride horses, herd cattle, and fish....it's required.
Got to watch out for those Urban Cougars running around.
