LOL C&D....tracking a Cougar's recent tracks with a torch and a Dumpster Mutt at night...good on you...they are unpredictable at night if hunting...the scary thing is when you see the scrathes on the tree trunk and realise it might be above you...ofcourse it could just be marking it's territory as well...the torch would be more effective than the DM though at keeping you safe...I like a shotgun for wood walks like that!! It steadies the nerves....
