There IS no question, that's a young cougar. Not even remotely like a bobcat other than a feline family member! "Showing up from the Dakotas" huh? That's the excuse they always say and it's no piece from your neck of the woods too the Dakotas. What was it, lastyear or 2010 when the cougar in Connecticut was killed and it had a tag or collar or transmitter anyway and was initially tagged/released in the Dakotas. They DO cover some ground. They are expanding in so many areas because of the explosion of the deer populations!

Yes just in the past couple years they have been showing up here and there. Funny thing is the dnr are playing dumb. I think they are planting these things, but they are saying they are coming from the Dakotas. Just one more predator we don't need. As if the wolves, bear and coyotes are not enough. Before you know it there will be a cougar hunt in wisconsin too.

That is a young cougar. I have found out that it isnt the DNR bringing them in at all. It's the USFW! Buddy watched a USFW truck let one go. I guess we are getting problem cougars now days

Go figure, from one moron to the next (DNR-USFW). Things are going to heck in a hand basket. The insurance companies sure love to see it.
