Default RE: moutain lion and cougar

Noone is jumping on this, so I will chime in. If the locals say they saw a cougar, I would not doubt them. It is a whole lot bigger than a linx or bobcat. But the population is a whole lot higher out west. At one of the local hunting stores, a guy shot a #165 cat in Colorado, handgun hunting. I track cougar range because I jog (they can call me back up to age 60) and would thus be on the lunch menu. There has been 1 report in Iowa lately. They eat joggers and bikers in Calif. on what appears to be a regular basis.
