I do not know whether he would have advanced to the attack or not, but he 

 looked dangerous, so I shot him instantly." 



On another occasion Mr. Hodges reports that he was walking along 

 through a scanty growth of trees and brush late in the fall. The ground 

 was covered with dry leaves and he was making considerable noise. He 

 happened to stop for a moment and heard a rustling in the leaves, indi- 

 cating the presence of something near him. He looked in every direction, 

 but could see nothing. The noise continued, but he couldn't tell exactly 

 from which direction it came. A moment later he saw something reddish- 

 brown in color behind a manzanita bush twelve or fifteen feet from him. 

 He thought it was a fawn so did not want to shoot. The rustling of the 

 leaves continued, but he could not see what the animal was. Then he threw 

 up his gun and fired. A big cougar jumped straight in the air with all four 

 feet spread. The one shot killed the creature. Examination of the foot- 

 prints showed the animal was crouched ready to spring, and the noise that 

 Mr. Hodges heard was the long tail of the creature swinging from side 



to side. ■
