I'm getting tired of reading bull sh-t on here.

Then don't read it. Simple as that.

Cougars.....yeah right!

I'll guarentee you that there would have been a hole in that window from the .357 and it would be a .357 because its the closest!!! if i had time i would go grab the slug gun and blow that puppy off the porch.

Its getting outta hand now.

Thats a cool looking pic, but I would be afraid for my kids and pets. I would love to stuff him though.

HOLY S$%T, I would scream, then go get my 12 Ga. and some OO Buck Shot!!!

I wasn't going to show anyone and I did promise the wife I would shelter the kids from the media spotlight, but ... since I saw those cougar photos I have got to post these:

#1 - shot this photo standing in my creek while I was washing clothes this December. Wrestled my way free and ran to the house.

#2 - Taken in the garage after the wife was screaming her head off about a big worm with a hood. Seems DNR introduced these to control the foreign beaver population currently plaguing Illinois.

#3 - Another DNR f-up to control the poacher population in the Archery only State woods across the road. I kept yelling at this guy that he had to carry in and carry out his stand but he just turned, looked and kept walking. The CO said they can never sem to catch this guy.

Yeah that photo of the cougar Ive seen around the net. Heck I even got it at work the other day. Its not from Illinois.

If it was on my deck.....it would be dead!
