«Breaking News» Teenage girl used bow and arrow to scare off cougar lurking 3 yards from 6-year-old brother

A 16-year-old Washington girl believes she saved her brother's life by shooting a cougar just three yards away with a bow and arrow. But despite getting away safely she returned with her father who shot the animal and it's now a wall display.

Amaya Simpson targeted the creature behind the ear and pierced it in the back with her weapon when she spotted it lurking behind her younger sibling. They were out practicing elk calls in the Inchelium area on the Colville Indian Reservation.

Cole Seymour, six, initially thought his teenage sister was playing when she called for him to run toward her but when he sensed her serious tone and saw her draw for her weapon, he made a break for it.

The 16-year-old Washington girl had no previous experience of hunting cougars

'I just smiled at her for a second, thought she was joking around on me again,' Seymour told KHQ News about the September 8 incident.

Although she initially froze, Simpson – a member of Arrow Lakes/Sinixt band of the Colville Confederated Tribes, descendants of Canada's indigenous people - acted fast despite no prior experience hunting cougars.

The cougar was about three yards from her brother and she says she released the arrow in record time to send it flying 11 yards.

Seymour told his mother Simpson saved his life that day as they practiced elk calls near home

'I just remember getting chills, turning around, and seeing only its big brown head blending with the trees and bushes,' Simpson told Tri-City Herald.

The nightmare didn't end there though, Simpson returned to the dangerous scene with her dogs, mother and father to kill the cougar.

Her father ultimately shot it. 

Mother Francesca Seymour wrote on Facebook that she was 'feeling thankful' after her children made it home safely.

'It was getting dark so we decided to get out and come back at daylight. We were walking back up our drive way when one of our small dogs started yelping. Amaya and I ran back to find him and we couldn't hear him,' she continued. 

'Cole went down into the brush, it was getting hard to see. He didn't find the dog but ran into the cougar and was able to put it down with his AR. Things could have went a lot different tonight. I'm thankful that my daughter has a level head and is a good shot. My son says "mom she saved my life!"'

But it hasn't scared Simpson off walking in the area though, she now keeps a .45-caliber Taurus Judge revolver on her hip.

Simpson and her family's hunt has since been turned into taxidermy.

Amaya Simpson targeted the creature...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
