This story came to me and I'm posting it, but at the same time I have some real concerns given the fact that in the one picture below it looks like the cougar is wearing a collar and not a tracking collar.

Bow season Cougar & Elk

From my friend Rick

So a cougar will attack an elk that is bigger, stronger, and faster than any human, a big dog and sidearm for outdoor walks may be good company.

These were taken by a friend of a guy I work with up near Waldo lake (above Oakridge about an hour and a half from Elkton) last Saturday.  They were calling this Bull to them when out of nowhere this cat comes in and jumps on the Bulls ass!  While the bull was busy trying to get the cat off his backside, Sam's buddy sticks the cat with an arrow.  The cat rolled off the bull, ran about 30 yards and piled up.

The bull, obviously shaken, stands there wondering what has just happened,
as Sam's buddy puts an arrow through him next!  True story!!  The bull runs about 75 yards and falls over.  Double lung on the bull, and right through the ticker on the cat.  Now that's a braggin' rights story if I've ever heard one.

It was a nice bull, and Sam said it was a HUGE cat (you can see this from
the picture).  His buddy who is holding the cat in the photo, stands about
6' 4" tall.  They guessed the cat was pushing 200 lbs.  For a cat to take on a mature Bull elk, you know he had to be a big one! Makes you kinda feel sorry for the bull. After just escaping a near death experience, he gets whacked by an archer, but I guess that was the original plan anyway.

This is a real good way to get shot during hunting season.  Wearing camo and carrying antlers on your back.  Ok, I'm starting to question intelligence here.

Nice chompers.

Sure looks like that cat is wearing a large "dog collar".
