He had just past Tranquille on his way back to Kamloops when he called his wife to check in for dinner at about 5 p.m.

害羞草研究所淚 was talking to her on the Bluetooth when I noticed six does on the side of the road,害羞草研究所� explained Headlee.

害羞草研究所淚 got pretty close in the truck and was just checking them out when, all of a sudden, this mountain lion jumps out of the bush next to me with a loud snarl, and takes down a doe, throwing her to the road!害羞草研究所�

Headlee said he scrambled to try to get his phone to take a video, but only managed to snap a few pictures before the cougar dragged its kill off the road.

害羞草研究所淭he lion dragged the deer off the road in the blink of an eye and was about 12 feet over a little cliff from me. I watched the deer expire and I locked eyes with the cougar for a few minutes until a passing car scared him off,害羞草研究所� added Headlee.

害羞草研究所淲hat a feeling to witness such a rare event. The explosive power of this cougar really surprised me.
