BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Watford City area rancher shot and killed four mountain lions after finding them eating a deer carcass they had dragged inside a barn.
District game warden Bill Schaller told the Tribune newspaper that Bill Jorgenson went to a storage barn before dawn on Jan. 14 and spotted four sets of eyes in the beams of his pickup's headlights.
Schaller said Jorgenson used a spot light to find a 104-pound female lion and three offspring of about 40 pounds each in the barn.
Schaller said mountain lions are common in the area and Jorgenson acted within the law.
