Default Cougars in Illinois now???

Got this email today, kind of interesting, don't know what to think of it (real or not) and don't know what I would do if I was the dad.


"These are from a guy out at Findlay , Illinois . Thepictures were taken from his kitchen onto his patio deck.The critter was watching his little kids playing on thekitchen floor!

Findlay is about 25 miles South of Dalton City between Westervelt and Sullivan. IDNR has introduced these inShelby County to manage the deer herd, but claims thatthe animals will not harm humans. "

scary! From what the farmers around my land have said and the one my brother saw last year, im scared as hell to check my trail cameras at night like i did last night. All i had was a big flash light. Everytime i looked down at my laptop i took out to download the pics, i thought i would look up and there would be a big cat just starring at me.
