On one of the other forums I saw a photo of a cougar that had been killed by wolves. That is my theory: the re-introduction of wolves in the West and Upper Midwest is displacing wolves from their traditional territories. 25 years ago the rumor of a cougar in WI or IL would draw laughter. SInce the more than successful recovery of the wolf population confirmed sightings, photos, road kills, live stock kills, etc of cougars has been escalating. Once again, another unexpected consequence of misguided policy by the political hacks in the DNRs and Interior Department.
