I was walking up the 2 mile gravel road to my place and heard something in the brush above me. When I stopped, it stopped, this happened several times. I caught a glimpse of it behind the brush and sure enough I was being stalked and sized up for dinner.

Cougars - Mountain Lions are really big, almost as big as a female African Lion. After that I took our German shepherd with me on those walks.

Grantsville, Utah is just thirty miles outside of Salt Lake City, and only five miles from the small city of Tooele (pronounced Too-will-a). I have a friend who has a small horse property just outside of Grantsville, and he keeps a couple of loaded shotguns handy for what he calls "kitty problems".
