Tom, The couger was a younger juvenile and underweight. We found the poor creature with her head kicked in by the mare. She was desperate! California passed legislation giving them total protection. Now we have gone from unsportsmanlike hunting to overpopulation. The Sespe is also the dumping ground for problem park bears. So; problem bears, starving lions, marijuana farms with booby traps, lost cattle and hikers and neophyte nimrods shooting at anything in sight make for a great field test of gear!
