Fake cougar attack

This incident got a popular alpine touring area in Banff called "Helena Ridge" closed down for weeks. I can't imagine why anyone would fake a cougar attack and lie about it to several media outlets.

Re: Fake cougar attack
People need attention I guess.
Pretty sure one followed my ski tracks for a few minutes a couple of years back- discovered it when on return trip a few years ago. If it wasn’t for the tracks and the dead pheasant I spotted off the trail I wouldn’t have known.

There's a lot of them out there. There's a guy that lives near me that has a trail cam channel on Instagram @plantedcamera. It's actually wild how much wildlife is out thereInspiredcapers wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 3:28 pmPeople need attention I guess.

Re: Fake cougar attack
People are funny. What was that guy thinking.
We have them going around and through the neighborhood all the time but they are ghosts. A dog got taken off the back porch 10 years ago. Then a cougar killed a bicycle rider 10 miles north of me about 5 years ago. Last month a pair of cougars cut up a bicycle rider pretty bad about 5 miles north of me.

Re: Fake cougar attack
i was up in the Angeles forest 2 months ago , crosscountry skiing up at mt. Pinos. while my dog and i rounded a blind corner, we scared the pee out of a 50lbs. shaggy grey haired cat the same size as my dog, it ran up a snowy hillside into the trees. took all my strength to reel in my boi and not be turned into shredded wheat by mr.fluffy.

Re: Fake cougar attack
I've only been bothered by cougars in bars.
