In WI there was a cougar down by Madisoncausingtrouble,then there was one in upper WI that a guy took a pic of a cougar laying on the padio table outside watching the little kids play in the living room. There is a big rumor going around that the DNR released the cats to control part of the deer population and I wouldn't doubt it. Northen Chicago is only three hours away from Madison I wonder if that could be the same cat. If so I would hate running into one hunting. I think Im going to start carrying my sidearm bowhunting.
