I nearly shot one when I caught it stalking. It scared off before I could get on them.

Yes I have. It was back in 1997, I was mountain biking above Bonneville dam. It was a long tough climb up to Wauna point. I looked up from the trail and about 50 feet or so and I saw a full grown Gouger walking up the trail I was on. He turned his head and looked at me and then walked off the trail

Unfortunately for the cougar yes. I hit one on HWY 26 about four years ago on the other side of Prineville, I called the police department to come out and put it out of its misery because I paralyzed it. Glad to have the police report to show the Insurance company because they thought I was joking.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
