Watford City area man shoots four mountain lions in his barn

A Watford City area rancher shot and killed four mountain lions last week after finding them feeding on a deer inside his barn.

District game warden Bill Schaller said Bill Jorgenson went to a barn used for storage in the pre-dawn hours last Friday to find four sets of eyes peering back at him in the beams of his pickup’s headlights.

Schaller said Jorgenson retrieved a spot light to find the 104-pound female and her three offspring hunkered down in the barn near the remains of a deer carcass.

“They had dragged the deer into the barn and were feeding on it and had it pretty well cleaned up,” Schaller said. “By all appearances it happened overnight,” he said, referring to the deer kill.

Schaller said the three offspring were in the 40-pound range. He said mountain lions are common in the area and Jorgenson was within the law in shooting the animals.

I would have to agree! If you can't eat what you kill....what's the use? I sure haven't heard anyone talk how good their Mountain Lion steak was last night.

I doubt it was necessary to kill the kittens. He should have called enforcement after killing the mother, if he felt threatened, which I doubt he did...

I agree with Big J kill them all even if kittens. We don't need Mt Lions in ND. They kill way to many deer and it is not like we have an over abundance of deer.

If I could I'd like to keep this discussion in the other thread. I also put the NDGF's report in it.
