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.
Exactly! This awful man should never be allowed to own animals for the rest of his life! Once an abuser, always an abuser. No matter that he is a vet. It doesn't excuse this abusive behavior, especially over tiny dogs!
I don't think he should get his dogs back until a psych eval is done and he's deemed ok to own an animal. I also think that your reporter's continued hounding of him for an interview after he clearly declined was appropriate or professional.
I nearly shot one when I caught it stalking. It scared off before I could get on them.
ReplyI have seen a huge momma cougar in between lapine and sunriver on state recreation road
