Hi I am interested in anyone that knows of bear or cougar attacks in this area. Thanks again Patty

A few years ago myself and a girl friend where out black berry picking when I was attached by a mountain lion. our attack was so much like the Prairie Creek couples experience with one big difference neither of us went to the hospital. If it were not for my wonderful friend and her courageous dog I would not still be here.Their is not a day that passes that I do not think of just how lucky I am. To this day neither one of us has been able to go berry picking or go into the woods. The experience has left us both with very serious injuries, they just do not happen to be the kind that you see. What has made it even worst was the response we received from our local ” so called protectors”( fish and game)*
