I never thought of it that way. I suspect the DNR will be requesting a couple million dollars now to study the cougar problem in Wisconsin.
All kidding aside, there have been numerous reports of cougar sightings in Northern Wisconsin. The DNR always kind of brushed it off telling people it was this or that instead. But did point out,
not to shoot them. How can they be concerned about shooting something that they deny exists?
The puzzle is where this cat showed up. Juneau county is a lot further south then where I would have guessed the first incident would have shown up. My money would have been in the Northern end. in the forest country or along the Mississippi. There was one sighted south of Superior last year. It was captured on a trail camera.
