One report said the cougar had an arrow sticking out of a back leg.

A recreation site near Campbell River is closed for day use and overnight camping after multiple sightings of a cougar believed to be injured and possibly aggressive.

So she decided to head back to the campsite, where she met up with Cliffe. He had just bumped into other campers who warned him they had seen a cougar with an arrow sticking out of its back leg. “Usually that’s not a big deal except our dog was alerting and getting really nervous about it,” she said.“It was a bigger animal and it wasn’t getting scared away by us making noises or the dog barking at it. So we were all just on high alert,” Sharkey said.

They tried to pack up their belongings, but the cat was too close for comfort, Sharkey said, so they decided to leave their tents, kayaks and a truck behind, and they drove off back home to Campbell River for the night.
