WILDLIFE -- Mountain lions don't eat hay, but this veggie bar spready out near Chewelah this winter likely attracted plenty of deer.

Cougars like an all-you-can eat buffet deal as much as anyone.

This photo is amon several snapped of cougars in February and March by a motion-activated camera about 45 miles north of Spokane.
