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.
We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.
These things have been voted on and approved by voters in the past already. This is just another example of hands out for $$ from property owners. I am against ANY new taxes on property owners. We are tapped out!! Tax alcohol, cigarettes, whatever else to make EVERYONE share in the pain.
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
