ON 01-13-21, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE RP THAT HE HAD JUST FOUND HIS LAST GOAT DEAD IN HIS CORRAL. THE RP THOUGHT THE GOAT WAS KILLED BY A COUGAR.
SGT. CHARRON AND I RESPONDED TO THE RP'S RESIDENCE SOUTH OF NORTHPORT AND INSPECTED AN ADULT GOAT KILLED BY A COUGAR. THERE WERE COUGAR TRACKS IN THE SNOW AT THE KILL SITE AND THE CARCASS HAD BEEN FED ON IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH A COUGAR. A LOCAL HOUNDMAN WAS NOTIFIED AND ASKED TO ATTEMPT TO RUN AND TREE THE COUGAR IF IT CAME BACK INTO FEED DURING THE NIGHT.
ON 01-22-13, I RESPONDED BACK TO THE RP'S RESIDENCE WITH A LOCAL HOUNDMAN AND RAN A COUGAR OFF OF THE DEAD GOAT. WE TREED AN ADULT FEMALE THAT DID NOT HAVE ANY KITTENS. THE COUGAR WAS THEN EUTHANIZED. TOOTH AND TISSUE SAMPLES WERE TAKEN.
