I keep seeing this “wolves eat cougars” thing. Wherever did this come from? Predators don’t generally go after predators as they need to stay healthy to live, and fighting with another predator is a sure way to get injured.

Wolves do not generally go after cougar or bear. Bears do not go after cougar or wolves or coyotes for that matter. Cougar do not go after any of the above. To protect a food cache maybe, but that is even rare, and is more of a “chasing off” than a fight. They are smarter then that! Really! There is much easier prey for them to take.

Speaking of controlling predator numbers, “hunting the hunter” is not walking out and blasting as many coyotes or cougar or bear as your trigger finger will allow. It is not quite that easy, and it is the challenge of “fooling the hunter” that makes it fun. It is always easy to knock something you have not tried.

I never got much of a thrill out of fishing with a hook, but I do enjoy bowfishing. That doesn’t mean that I think hook fishing is easy, or that it shouldn’t be done.

If F&W folks should be able to breath check hound hunters because of the stereotype of drinking, then cops should be able to drug test PETA and the like for the same reason… Gee, I guess that wouldn’t be fair either
