Problem kitty cat on private land
Been knowlage of a cat roaming our 1/4 since logging started last month. It has in the past been keeping away from the animals and livestock/home site. Last week had fresh tracks within 20 yards of the house. Dog was killed off neighbors deck last month.
How does a guy approach this? Not a cat Hunter and given every other 1/4 is private dogs become an issue crossing property lines. Cat is a youngster from wife's description |

Any person who is the owner or occupant of privately owned land may at any time of year, hunt (but not trap) cougar on such lands without a licence. Hunting with dogs is prohibited under this authority. Under this authority, registration is required within one week of the kill by bringing the skin and skull (or intact carcass) to a Fish and Wildlife office. A premolar tooth will be retained for aging. * It is not legally necessary to salvage pelts of furbearing animals (includes coyote and wolf) or black bear taken in accordance with regulations authorizing the control of problem wildlife set out in this part. The skin and skull of cougar taken on privately-owned land as described must be submitted at time of registration as noted, but the cougar pelt does not need to be further salvaged.

You’re allowed to shoot it so if you have the chance do so, it sounds like it has some bad habits and as a side benefit the other wildlife in the area will thank you, most areas in Alberta with cougars have too many anyways.

If you decide to use dogs to chase the cat best to talk to the neighbours. |
Appreciate the responses guys.
We bought this land late last year so history is short. We have lived in the area a while so this issue isn't new but the bold activity is. I get land owner permits and such as stated. I had some advice from a fellow trapper to put a radio out on low volume which should discourage predetory animals. No change. We have two livestock companion dogs that do a great job With everything up until this point. |

I'd like to point out it's stupid to break the law when following the law is so freaking simple. Especially in this case. |
