[QUOTE="Dave, post: 83712, member: 498"] They outlawed hound hunting here in Washington about 10 years ago. It has been a real boom to the cougar and bear populations. For 10 year before the hound ban hunting was by limited permits and they were pretty limited. There has been no hound hunting for cougars in the SW corner of the state for over 20 years. Deer hunters are actually getting cougars with some regularity now and that use to be pretty rare. Up in the northeast corner of the state the cougars have gotten out of control. I know of two incidents up there that show how many cougars there are in the area. One where a cougar chased a deer through the Walmart parking lot in Colville during the middle of the day. I bet that made the little old ladies and kids scatter. In another case a woman was sitting in her living room reading a book one evening and a cougar jumped through a plate glass window and grabbed her dog off the living room rug. I know of another case where two cougars chased a deer across a mans yard and down the beach near Olympia. Those cats had to pass through town to gat to the area where the man lives. Every time someone complains about the cougars to the Game Dept. they say the problems are because people are moving out into the areas where the cougars live. Dave [/QUOTE]
