Not the Kind of Feisty Cougar You Want to Fool With (Video)
A Utah conservation officer went the extra mile to release a trapped and rather unhappy mountain lion without the help of tranquilizer darts.
Caught by a licensed trapper in a trap meant for coyotes or bobcats, the large cougar was hemmed up by the paw until Utah Division of Wildlife Resources conservation officer Mark Ekins responded to the call with a couple of catch poles.
The six-minute video filmed by Ekins shows the game warden and the trapper move in on the growling animal, secure the big cat’s head just inches from their faces with a catch pole and a blanket, and release his paw from the trap after a couple of tense attempts.
After retreating a few feet away and taking a time out, the cougar bounds off into the brush.
Under Utah law, trappers can either release unwanted or unlicensed animals themselves or call in DWR for assistance.
“It could be a potential dangerous situation,” Ekins told KSL. “Anytime they feel uncomfortable at all, we’d definitely rather them call us and allow us to help them rather than take a chance of injuring an animal.”

Good job guys, but next time shoot cat with tranquilizer gun,
then pull trap off, and go on to the next thing.. Much easier
and safer for all.
The cat reminds me of liberal women trying to digest a Trump presidency and not liking it one bit.
What a let down. The title led me to believe this story would be about a sexy older woman.
there is a risk in the tranquilizer–about 30 percent die–bad reaction or over medicated–utah wildlife/game wardens are the best from my 30 years living there–had one pulled up on me with a thermos and we shared a cup of coffee in the back country while fishing –
