Cougar In Santa Fe (house, neighborhoods, backyard)

[Poncho_NM]

New Mexico Department of Game and Fish officers darted, sedated and captured a cougar Wednesday that had been traveling through Santa Fe neighborhoods.

The 150-pound adult male mountain lion ended up in an apple tree in the backyard of a house off Siringo Road and Calle Navidad, a couple of miles from where the big cat was spotted Tuesday by residents.

Grew up on Siringo and Calle Lorca, just down from where the caught the cat. Used to play in all the fields around there. Glad I didn't run into a 150 lbs. Cat!

At first I thought this was another El Farol thread, but now I see you are talking about the other kind of cougar. I was gonna say that it's not that hard to catch cougars in Santa Fe, the hard part is fending them off.
