I'll give you the no bears in Indiana but there are a half dozen or so cougars running around the state at any given time. They aren't wild they are peoples pets who have gotten loose which makes them even more dangerous I've personally tracked 3 of them in the past 4 years. I don't agree with the law here not allowing you to carry a pistol while archery hunting. Its pretty obvious the type of weapon used to kill the deer when you are looking for the difference between a firearm and a bow.
