Default Big Cat in Ohio

Just saw a blurb in the paper about some recent "big cat' sightings up around Lima, Ohio. Anybody hear anything about it.

Think again. Did ya know that NW ohio was considered uninhabitable in large part to the wolves, bears and cats before it was settled. The south was settled long before we were. There's been talk around my area (wood county) for a while.

A man named Henry Howe wrote the history of Ohio twice, once around 1850 and again around 1880. He went trough all 88 counties and documented their history. A fascinating read if you like local history and much of it is avalable on line. There's a great story of a man who hunted a cat while deer hunting after the cat did a number on his dog.

No such thing. They killed on in Omaha, NE last summer. Within the city near a park that is always full of people. We have them all over SD. There are a lot of them out on the prairie. Very adaptable animal.

They ran over one here, male that weighed 130 lbs, on the interstate Saturday night. He was crossing from one residential area into another.
