I am not saying that there is not the occasional cougar that moves thru Indiana along the major river systems as the Wabash, the East Fork and White Fork rivers. These animals take alot of territory to live and Indiana just does not have that kind of cover.What amazes me is the people who swear they see Cougars, like the guy who started this post. My gosh man he and his friends have seen more cougars in a year that someone who would spend a lifetime in their naitive habitat. I don't even believe there is a scattered or remote population as you suggest because Indiana does not have the cover these animals need to survive on a daily basis. I am sorry I just can't believe it, no offence.
