We caught Smilla this afternoon after following her around the Twin Rivers Golf Course for about four hours.  The sedative pills slowed her down a little, but she never went into a deep sleep.  I tried sneaking up on her with a net several times as she napped in the grass, but she always woke up just before I got there.  On the attempt that succeeded, I sneaked up to within ten feet, and then lunged the last distance.  She still woke up before I got there, but I managed to throw the net over before she got away.  She was not happy to be caught, but we were elated to finally have her safe.

Thanks to the dozens of volunteers who tracked Smilla, and all the people who reported sightings of her.
