Mq1 have you heard of any sighting around the cape?I hunt the Shawnee,as well as Franklin co and know guys that have seen bobcats,but never cougars.Also where I hunt most of the time here in northern IL,I one time getting out of my stand at dark I could here something matching me step for step as I walked toward my truck,It would be a bit unnerving knowing that one of these critters where spotted in my area
