Was that picture taken in the east? Every year, there seem to be more
and more sightings. Enough that I'm starting to wonder if they aren't
making a return. I personally know someone who swears he has seen one
here in NJ. He's a pretty reliable type, but . . . I haven't seen any
confirmations.

You could feed some of the characters in here to that cat!
On second thought the SPCA would be on your case for cruelty to animals.

I wonder if that kitty could be convinced to decimate the deer here, but
leave the kids alone.

There have been confirmed sightings in my woods and around the
neighboring farms.

They are mountain lions - not cougars. Confirmed by professional
trackers.

Fisher cats are also making a huge come back in this area.

And major Coyotes down by the shoreline. The officials tried to sluff
it off for almost 10 years as "dogs" but now they admit it. I walked
outside from a friends lake house a few years back and was face to
face with one, scared the **** out of me, got in my truck fast.

I wish they'd come here and decimate the Canada Goose population, and maybe
take a few mute swans out of the Bay also.

What is the difference between an mountain lion and a cougar?

Three instances here in Northern Illinois told to me by relatives, recently,
of seeing coyotes watching their dogs from the edge of the yard when they
let them out. This is right in town. It won't be long before they get
brave enough or hungry enough to eat one or two of those dogs. I read now
and then of dogs and cats being taken by mountain lions, coyotes, or big
hawks or owls when I lived in the Phoenix area. When I moved from here in
'86, there were no coyotes and darn few Canadian Geese around. Now that I'm
back, I see the geese everywhere (flocks in the hundreds). My son regularly
shoots a coyote when out hunting and farmers are reporting sightings of a
mountain lion and even some wolves. I suspect a lot of it has to do with
less hunting being done. Used to do a lot of coon hunting back in the 70's
and 80's but now there's a house every 5 acres or less and of course
everythings posted "no hunting". I think the wildlife is having no problem
finding a place to live safely. I've had deer, fox, wild turkey, woodchuck,
rabbits, etc in my yard. Only saw rabbits and squirrels twenty years ago.
