There has been a couple in the La Porte/Dysart area the last month. I guess there was on traped over by Cedar Rapids, Iowa. My room mate here at school received a letter to help track bobcat. He lives near Albia Iowa. The DNR just wanted to radio tag then and keep records. Also while out deer hunting first season we had found a moutain lion just north of Mashalltown about 20 miles. We contacted the DNR and he said that there are about five of them in the area.
