I heard the Illinois DNR was going to start dropping rattlesnakes from planes all around the state to control the Cougar population!

Let's just hope those kids didn't go outside and say "nice kitty" and try to pet it!

I've seen a cougar with my own eyes in central Michigan. No joke...so when people tell me they've seen one, I believe them. My dad was with me and we both saw it. He called the cops and they didn't give him the time of day. Other neighbors saw it too, so they are out there!

do you really think that a wild cougar would let someone stand there and take pictures of it? I dont think it would....but i am not an expert.....I live in Illinois and I am starting to think that i am the only person in the state that has NOT seen one.
