A friend of mine came by this afternoon with quite a story. Seems he was golfing with some friends at Terrace Lakes Golf Course (about three miles from where I live in Garden Valley, Idaho) this morning, and they had to chase a naping cougar off the fairway on the 10th hole!
They actually had to drive their golf cart up and shoo him away!
I moved up here to get closer to nature, but this is getting out of hand!
A friend once nailed a rat with a 3 wood. It landed in the neighbour's yard, so he called that one lost and as he didn't have another rat to continue he finished at one over for the night. rz

Golfers in Idaho? Yeah, we got them. I actually used to work next to a course in Twin Falls, in the bottom of the Snake River canyon.
Because of the chance of ricochet's, centerfire's are not allowed. Predictably, the golf courses down there have a VERY healthy population of rock chucks.
One of the funniest things I have ever seen was when one of the duffers hit a ball onto the green. Then the rockchucks would run up, grab the ball, and take off with it! I thought I was going to bust a gut laughing..... Dutch.

A neighbor here in inland north central Wash. killed a cougar after her goats with a variety of doemstic/agricultural instruments. I think the one of most use in the endevour was a hay fork...
