a distance of less than 70 feet from where she stood. And it is need- 
less to say that Mrs. Mohr did not advance any nearer the animal to 
get a better view of him. 
The cougar stood still and looked at Mrs. Mohr for a moment (she 
thought it was an hour), then turned and went back up the hill. The 
men folks in the Mohr family, in that neck of the woods, are hunting 
cougars nowadays. 

FARMER FINDS TRAPPING PROFITABLE 
Editors Sportsman, 
Portland, Oregon. 
Gentlemen: I am a rancher, but trap a little on the side. In 1915 
I caught 85 coyotes, $3 bounty each; 22 bobcats, $2 bounty each; one 
cougar, $25 bounty and $5 for the skin, The coyotes and cats, besides 
the bounties, brought me an average of $4 each for the skins, making 
a total of $757. I also trapped 50 mink, the skins of which sold at 
$3 each, making $150 more, and a grand total of $907 for the season’s 
work, Remember this is not my record for 1916, but my record for 
1915. I have two. good cougar dogs, but there are very few animals 
of this kind in this section now. 
I am enclosing a picture showing the animals taken on two trips 
around my trap line of 150 miles. In this picture are ten coyotes, two 
lynx, one cat, one bear and three badgers. Note the coyote in the 
doorway, killed within 200 yards of my house. He is dead, but frozen 
in life-like position. 
In my collection I have two very large buck deer heads mounted, 
one with 13-point antlers and one with 29 points. 
I would like to hear from any other man who is a rancher and 
trapper and can beat this record.
