[blackbelly] predators

[stmprnch]

Hi everyone; Thanks for all your options and advice. I have made contact the USDA Animal Damage control yesterday. He surveyed the whole property line, and look it over for signs to verify the kind of predator we have. He's got a plan for the area. I know this will only be temporary, but it will help now and I can make other changes so when this round of trapping is done the fences will be ready, and what ever other changes we make. We'll be as ready as we can make them. This will be a problem we will have to deal with probable for ever, as long as we have animals. I've found out that our whole area has been hit hard. This trapper was already working in the area. The trapper told me I was right, I have every right to shoot a cougar with the kills we've had and I don't need a tag. I don't know I might get one anyway. I never thought of eating the cougar meat. We might have to try that. Thanks again, Sandy
