Mountain lion sighted on Kootenai River Road

About 7pm Tuesday evening (May 14) a resident on Kootenai River Road reported his housecat had been killed and he had found a dead whitetail deer. There were large cat tracks around the remains of both the housecat and the deer.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) Warden Tami Laverdure, says an investigation found a young mountain lion had dragged and buried a road kill deer in the area. Due to safety concerns of attempting to shoot the cat close to a residential area, FWP has elected to remove the deer carcass from the area hoping without its catch the mountain lion will move on.
