Fished the Lyre today, no fish but did see lots of cougare tracks and did see one in a tree in the DNR park almost under the bridge. I felt like I was being watched all day.

Seastrike send me your EM and I wll give you more info LB

Theres a ton of them in there be careful!! I seen a ton of tracks in the canyon.

Oh quit telling stories now Baitcaster, ever since you almost got chewed on out on the Sol Duc, now your all cougar this, cougar that. What you saw was probably just my dogs big ole paw print.

Yea right budskie, dogs dont have 5 paws and 5 foot tails

Cougar season is open.

The only good couger is a dead one. Take a Firearm with you next time.

I would prefer to have this with me if I came across a cat.

Those pictures are fake. You think those dogs would be sitting there watching if it was still alive? Is there any Cougar besides a dead one slow enough to be caught by a mule?

Decent pictures,but they're fake.

SundayMoney, are you talking about the mule or about the girl in your avatar?

Cheapskate,

I can tell you without a doubt my wifes boobs are not fake. Its the way shes walking in the pic,its just makes them look fake.

Kind of a spooky place to fish. I know what you mean.

I ran into two cougars up the canyon on the Lyre.

I was walking up that logging rod several years ago, to go up into the canyon on the Lyre. It was early morning and just getting light. About 1/2 to 3/4 mile up the road, I startled two animals(that I couldn't see) that must have been sleeping in the ditch of the logging road. One ran a ways into the brush, the other just a little ways. Thinking they were deer, I crouched down to peer into the brush. I could see a shape that slowly came into focus. What came into focus first was a huge cat's head.

I immeadiately stood up and shouted. The cougar ran ahead on the road and stopped about 50 yards away, and stood sideways to me, and just stared. At this time I was wondering what the other Cougar was doing (that I couldn't see) I didn't have a gun, but had a fillet knife that I took out of my fanny pack. I figured with as loud as I just shouted, and the cougar had only run just a short ways, that there might be trouble. I started walking towards the Cat yelling, and when I was about 30 yards from it, it jumped in to the brush and dissapeared.

It must have been a young cougar? But the whole experience was very unnerving.

I did still go fishing though, and got into a few fish.

The only fake is that she is Sunday's wife!
Sure she is!

:rolleyes:

This one won't be bothering any more fisherman!
I took him near the Madison River in Southwest Montana.

Yikes, you get an errie feeling when you think about that thing lurking in a woods near you.
