It has more to do with the lack of management of cougar populations. There is clear evidence that there are high numbers of cougars in Whitman county. 50 deer per year. . . and a good population of deer is about 50 per square mile. So high cougar populations can bring their numbers down drastically. That's why it is essential to hunt cougars with dogs. It has nothing to do with fires or fertility rates.
