The cougar always has a prominent place in the hall for the Annual Banquet. But did you know the story behind that cougar? I interviewed Gerald Vaugh-Irving, Wally Kampen, Richard Green and former member, Doug Turner. The cougar was displayed in the window of the Silvertip Sports Bar on Baker St.(1976) When the owner, Earle, passed away, the family donated the cougar to our club. The Rod and Gun Club was broken into on, July 3, 2003, and was set on fire. Nearby, two girls were camping in a pup tent. The arsonists pushed the cougar in the girls’ tent to scare them, or to hide the cougar. But the arsonists were met by a clubbing from the girls’ flashlights! The girls were able to identify the culprits and the culprits were charged.
