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 to finish off 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.

'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.
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!"'
The potential attack hasn't scared Simpson off walking in the area though, she now keeps a .45-caliber Taurus Judge revolver on her hip.
Simpson's hunt has since been turned into taxidermy.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
