RE: COUGARS ARE HERE
Interesting in that both reports in Illinois are pretty recent and indicate that some are crossing the Mississipi. There have been other unsubstantiated reports of POSSIBLE cougar sightings in southern Illinois. Given the high deer population and plenty of cover in the hills and river bottoms of southern Illinois, I wouldn't be surprised if the reports from there become more common.

No, no, no. They just wait for the PGC/Insurance Co, coyote stocking trucks to come by and hitch a ride on them until they want to jump out on the other side.
This may be just rumor, but, I've heard that when a cougar needs to cross a road they have a sasquatch carry em across.

they were sitting on their back porch when it came by.
this farmer has lived there all his life and knows what a bobcat looks like.

RE: COUGARS ARE HERE
There were "lots" of coyotes in PA back in the 70s, at least in the northern tier counties. Back then many of the farmers thought they were "coydogs" though. Saw my first one in the late 70s or early 80s, along the NY borderin NEPotter County.
The documented history of 'yotes in PA, goes back much farther than that.

RE: COUGARS ARE HERE
Near our camp,located in Hamilton County a dead deer was found 40 feet up a tree. All of a sudden the deer were hanging out in town. What else could cause that ???? Last year we had a wolf run across road in front of us. This year we counted 7 moose on our land. There are no fences around state borders.
