So much for controling the rat population in the Windy City the natural way!!!

What do you mean? The homeless can still munch down on them.

And while they are out searching for someone with a tranquilizer gun that has enough tranq to down a cougar, the cougar mauls a 2 year old sittin on their stoop. Yeah, that would have been a lot better.

Friggin armchair quarterbacks... What the hell would you have done, not fired a shot until the cat had you by the neck?

Friggin City Cop confronts a cougar.. I'm surprised he didn't get the shotgun out of the car and unload it into the carcass just to make sure. This wasn't a Park Ranger from Yellowstone.. it was a CITY cop!!

Chill, you don't have to get all nasty. I just wanted to be the one who was going to disagree with everyone else. I'm really glad it ended without anyone getting hurt. Sheesh, people really do take these forums too seriously sometimes.

Every time I seethe title of this thread, I assume it's about __________ (insert name of favorite forum hen here.)

Shooting and working with cougars is amazing work...like I stated earlier...this cat was in the area too long, took some dogs, would have come back...
I didn't mean to imply he murdered the thing...just stating that they finally found the cat....as a follow up to the origional story posted awhile back. By the photo in the story...being that close..the cat wanted to go hide, thus the alley.

I respect others' opinions and didn't want to start a war with this thread. I'll refrain from posting "wild animals found in_________." It obviously lights a fire or two.

Later and enjoy what the world has to offer you today!

I've only seen one in the wild, crossing a dirt road in front of me on the run. It was a thrill I'll always remember.
