Default RE: FEDS PLAN STUDY OF COUGARS

I can't speak for trappers Phil and I'm not sure what you mean in changing the way we hunt. I don't know why anyone would change anything even if the extinct cat was found to not really be extinct.
Here right now their is a law suite being filed/ has beento stop trappers from trapping as a result of the Canadian Lynx and the chance a Bald Eagle may get caught in a trap. The same idea as the Feds trying to force the state into doing more for wolves in this state.The state doesn't even acknowledge we have a natural wolve population. I can only imagine what a state would end up going through if an Eastern Cougar was to be discovered. The anti's would have a field day once it was out of the bag. That is why I am asking that question as it could very well be both good and bad news for all. So I am asking Cougardaville what his take would be on this and still I ask the same question of him.

Also up here on a section of Route # 6 one has been said to have been seen. The follow up has been stated to have found a female with 3 cubs with her. Are they from released cats? or are they the real thing? They are in fact believed to be the real thing. There is long stretches of roads with out much in the line of human activity and the possibility of them being real is questionable. But, one cat with 3 cubs says there must be another one someplace relatively close by. I hope if they are real no one really finds out if it means more legal issues for the state and all the sportsmen that enjoy it. So why can't my question be answered?
