I want to talk about stalking cougars in South Dakota for a minute.
No, not in the way that my young Republican friend Pat Powers over at the South Dakota War Junior College obsesses about our large, furry, feline friends in the Black Hills (and sometimes beyond).
No, I’m talking about cougars as in single women in their 30s-50s on the prowl for rich guys. (That obviously puts me out on two counts: A. Married. B. Not remotely rich.)
They are portrayed on TV by the likes of Kim Cattrell of Sex and the City.
One of my Kansas blogging colleagues recently had an interesting post about all the cougar lairs in Johnson County, Kansas. Which made me think, where do the South Dakota cougars lie (lay?) in wait for their unsuspecting quarry?
Put your knowledge, surveillance, and better yet, first-hand hunting (or hunted) stories in the comments.
Perhaps Kevin Woster from Take It Outside will now also devote some space—and advice—to this new and growing area of hunting.
Yes, I am easily amused.
