You guys must be seeing "feral cats", not mountain lions. I believe the Wisconsin and Michigan DNR says that "there aren't any mountain lion/cougar in this area" and we know they'd NEVER lie tous right? Now excuse me, I have to get back to wondering what I'mdoing wrong becauseI'monly seeing about one deer per five huntsin my Earn-a-Buck unit in this severlyoverpopulated state. Thank you.

RE: Any one seeing any mountain lions in the midwest??
Ive seen one near Warrensburg, Missouri last year. i saw him crossing a field into some timber. funny thing is, when we saw the landowner he said "if you see a mountain lion let me know, cause he killed one of my ponies." We didnt mention a thing to him about it until he mentioned it. Me and my buddy looked at each other like "oh s*^%".
Another friend of mine caught one on his video camera, sent it in to the MDC, and they said "all we can say is it is not a house cat."

haha
but your name would drive my dad and brother crazy
my dad is guiding at the best farm in missouri, i swear
all day you have drake mallards floating 10 yards in front of the blind
my dad will hunt there about 40-50 days this year
the farm borders otter slough conservation area and this farm is all cypress, the dry part is some of the best deer hunting around too
the ducks love the flooded cypress there though
