You've heard nothing until you've heard a chupacabra in the night.
When I was a teenager me and friends camped and hunted in a hardwood bottom and at nights we would hear a cougar screaming and it scared the bejesus out of us. We told my pals grandpa and the next night he came to our campsite and stayed and talked and then we heard it. Mr. Jones got up, walked over to his tractor (he rode it to the campsite) and said "Boys y'all don't let that screech owl eat yaw up tonight".I haven't actually heard a woman being killed.

I had ridden into the hills to an isolated canyon where I was going to meet my younger sister for a picnic. She had left earlier on foot. Tamar, the greatest of all my horses, was sliding down the steep hillside on her rump to where there was a creek in the woods. Suddenly she whirled around and went back. What's the matter with you I said and asked her to go on. Once again she turned back. Darn it, you go on down there, and she did go down there.
All of a sudden I heard sounds like this.
Then it changed to sounds more like this
I dismounted, tied her to a tree and she sat back pulling to get away. Adrenaline made my heart pound. The fight or flight hormone for me it was fight. because I my only thought whatever it was it must have my sister. This screaming and growling continued. I picked up a heavy limb like a club. Then I saw something moving in the rocks on the other side of the creek. It was a lion. Then it vanished in the shadows. The mare and I took off out of there.
My sister I found sitting by an old abandoned barn she was white as a sheet.
Nice picture but not legal in either Oregon or Washington which is the reason we are over run with cougars.
That right there is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.
That's funny.When I was a teenager me and friends camped and hunted in a hardwood bottom and at nights we would hear a cougar screaming and it scared the bejesus out of us.

Especially when they run in packsYou've heard nothing until you've heard a chupacabra in the night.
That was in Stevens county in northeast Washington. They are absolutely over run with cougars. A few years ago one chased a deer through the WalMart parking lot in Colville in the middle of the day. Scattering old ladies and grandkids while doing it. I know of another case in that area where a man was sitting in his living room with his dog on the floor. A cat literally jumped through a big picture window to attack the dog. The out lawing hound hunting passed by the Seattle liberals is one of the stupidest things they have done. Wait there is a long list of stupid thing that they have done. But as a result the cat population has exploded.A mountain lion attacked a child in Washington state last year. It is amasing that the girl lived. She was mauled pretty bad.

It is legal to hunt bobcats Dec-Feb. It is strange but a lot of those dogs don't know the difference between a bobcat and a cougar. Of course if your dogs tree a cougar by mistake you just have to catch up the dogs and leave the cougar in the tree......Yes that would solve the problem but FAT CHANCE the lib lion kissing voters are going to let that happen.
Meanwhile, how about illegally hunting with a silent breed of dogs? The baying of hounds in the woods and hills is what gives their location and purpose away.
