We have also spent a little time this week at the wood shop working on some projects, Kaden loves every minute of it. He collects his own logs and playes in sawdust.
I also found him this week in the dryer. I was in the middle of getting another load and came back to find him inside.

Not much of an elk huh? I was on my way back to the truck when I jumped this cougar with her two kittens... When she saw me her kittens bolted and she ran straight at me hissing and roaring... I unshouldered my gun and yelled at her, but when I yelled she leaped at me from about 10 feet away. I stepped to the side and pulled the trigger from a hip shot position. The shot hit her in the neck and came out where you can see just behind the left shoulder. I really believe that she was protecting her kittens by "attacking" the threat..... After I changed my pants, the voice of my mother kept coming to mind, "make sure you don't go by yourself".
I called it in to the game and fish department that night and took the ranger into the kill site this morning. He aged the lion at about 6 years of age and around 130 pounds (a little less than my muscular 148). He took a statement and said I did the right thing.
YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!
