Near Home Depot - Tom Gerhardt with KXNews has video of Game and Fish taking the mountain lion.

KX Will show the clips tonight at 10, and should also be on the web when they get it uploaded...

Well, crap. I had been hoping to get that elusive Bismarck cat myself. Guess it doesn't always help to live outside city limits.

I am not sure how they got the cat to sit still but you could clearly hear that the bullet found the mark. This will surely get the anti-hunters all riled up. Somehow KX managed to get footage of the actual shot.

All jokes aside, ND G&F/Bis PD made the right decision. NOTHING good can come from a Mt. Lion within any city limits.

If some anti wants said cat in his/her yard, fence their yard, including a top and turn the two of them loose within the enclosure, may the best mammal win.

That's unbelievable. All the habitat around Bis/Mandan and it chooses city limits. Wow. Had to be taken out.

I would guess it was a young male, out to find its own territory. Probably following the river, ran into bismarck and was trying to find a way around the city. I doubt it would have stayed in this area long. Im sure there will be some kind of statement from the G&F in the next week or so.

Good call on dispatching the cat!! Cats many times in other areas of the nation will stay in city limits. High supply of food make it an attractive feeding area.

The policy of the G&F has always been to chose the path of safety for humans over cats.Right policy out of the shoot!!!!!!!

In my lifetime I have seen fence row to fence row farming and the return of CRP and game to the landscape.Now we face again the prosepect of fence row to fence row again! Sportsman are our own worst enemy in that we fail to look forward and focus to much on the now!
