We’ve seen them up here in the hills of New Hampshire. We don’t go into the woods alone, and we don’t go in without guns. If you’re alone, you won’t know that a cat’s stalking you until it’s too late.
When you’re in the woods, be sure to stay close together, make lots of noise, and carry sidearms - .357 mag suggested minimum.
One’s fondness for large predators varies proportionally with distance. I suspect the folks out in farm country aren’t too terrible concerned about preserving the cougars.
Your dad thought he saw one about a month ago in Chalco Park. There is a huge white tail deer population in the park, so I suspect there’ll be cats. I went walking at Walnut Creek the other night and it got dark on me and I was really glad I was carrying; although from what I understand about attacks, a cat would have got me before I’d have been able to shoot it/at it. No more long walks at night when I’m angry anymore!
