As the close season fr killing deer is
near at hand those that enj iy hunting
sre taking the lust hunt of the season.
Deer seem to be more plentiful this fall
than for several years past. It is stated
bv experienced hunters in this vicinity
that cougar kill more deer in a course of
a vear than is killed bv hunters. It is
stated bv those in a position to know
that a full grown cougar will average
deer each week during the year and it is
certainly the case Judging Irom the sign
seen in the mountains that cougar are
increasinu rat'.er than dimiBhinii. The
Cougar is a very shy animal and is rarely
seen ' unless hunied bv does trained for
that purpose, and unlofs a bounty is
offered for them they will in a few years
almost snihilnte our deer. They seem
to prey almost exclusively on deer, and
nave no trnuoie apparently iu nayiiu
when thev choose. Thev scarcely ever
devour a deer entirely, feed only on the
choice narta and leave the carcass to
other animals.
