My coworker lives in Wayne County and said that his neighbor hit a cougar last year with his truck and put it in the back to show his kids. About an hour after getting home, a DEC officer pulled in the driveway and told him he came for the body. I'm guessing they had it tagged and tracked a sudden increase in speed and/or distance and might have thought someone poached it. I don't really know the guy, so I can't say if this is real or not.
