Increased activity in cougar hunting is being evidenced by the number of pelts being sent into the Game Commission office for collection of the $50 bounty. This week Roy Tracy of Estacada brought in five cougars, one of them measuring nine feet two inches in length, while John B. Savage of Lebanon presented bounty on three yearlings and one adult. One of the yearlings had a natural bobtail, which is the first freak of its kind coming under the observation of the game department.
