Big Sheep-Killing Cougar Bagged At Kinzua Mountain A large female cougar was shot on July 29 by Dalton Wll helm on Guthrie Prairie in the Klnzua Mountain area, accord ing to State Police Officer Curt is Culp. Wllhelm, who Is employed by Jack Stelwer of Fossil, shot the animal after it had killed 11 sheep, including ewes and lambs, the state officer said.
