Hunting West of Claresholm.
Well today was the final day and we drove the quads through all of the valleys and coulees looking for wildlife. I noticed something very interesting. In over 50% of the deer tracks we came across in the snow in each different area, there were cougar tracks stalking them. The tracks would follow the deer while on the quad trail but when the animals went off the trail the cougar followed them. Don't know about any one else but we really haven't seen many deer at all in the foothills. Got a funny feeling the cougar population has rebounded quite well in this area.
