I like to believe that those predators are all heading for Central Park, their old stomping territory...all the lovers of the predators will have to leave them alone or be heavily fined for disturbing them...that will take care of the crime in the park.

For years my family has made their deer camp at the same place in Roscommon and last year on a beer run, my son followed one down their path and then it darted off into the brush...He was going ON a beer run not returning FROM the beer run...:O)

Who was the lucky one that hit the eastern mountain lion? I'd called the Department of Wildlife and had the carcass to the taxidermist before the body was below 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

lol..same thing in Michigan.

Awe heck, people got video of one somewhere around Westland or East of it, then one up around Rochester if I am not mistaken. Some question if these "cats" were from drug dealers in Detroit and let loose i.e. some other big cat, not Cougars.

My remembering (Milam Co., TX 2002) sitting outside at 4am - I thought I had what all the natives claimed were either tail-strangling possums, in-reaching coons, but it was panthers that tore apart fortified chicken coops. They set out after the coyotes (1am) at 2am and return just before sunrise.

My neighbor caught mine coming back on my place, dusted him and presented me the skull.. 110 lb starving male, he estimated.

Where coyotes and panthers co-exist, the lions have to alter their hunting times as dogs freak out barking on coyotes and wolves at 1am leaving and 4am returning. Lions have to work around that waiting for the dogs to go back to sleep.

Got the trophy.

There are no mountain lions in Arkansas either. Game and Fish explained about my lyin’ eyes.

over the last few years I’ve seen more and more red fox in northern NJ. There was a den with two pups within a half mile of me.

Heck, my daughter had a den with a couple of fox kits in it under her pool in Mahwah, NJ. She lived in the city.

Can’t have the peasants poaching the dictator’s deer. He’d rather the big cats eat them.

My stepmother used to take care of Salvador Dali’s ocelot at her Weston, Connecticut home.

I have always wanted to post this fact somewhere.
