I waited until it had passed and then fired into the short ribs, the bullet ranging forward.

Throwing its tail up in the air, and giving a bound, the cougar galloped off over a slight ridge.

But it did not go far; within a hundred yards I found it stretched on its side, its jaws still working convulsively.
The true way to hunt the cougar is to follow it with dogs.

If the chase is conducted in this fashion, it is very exciting, and resembles on a larger scale the ordinary method of hunting the wildcat or small lynx, as practised by the sport-loving planters of the southern States.

With a very little training, hounds readily and eagerly pursue the cougar, showing in this kind of chase none of the fear and disgust they are so prone to exhibit when put on the trail of the certainly no more dangerous wolf.
