A cougar’s range can be between 50 - 150 square miles.
Conservation officials always want to downplay reality.
We “ don’t have them here” according to the DNR but there’s warning posters everywhere about the horrible fines you will get and possibly jail time should you in any way inconvenience the mountain lions we don’t have here.
And there’s a 24/7 hotline available should you miraculously see one of the mountain lions we definitely do NOT have here.
Right.

( locals watched the DNR turn loose two females and male who of course, quickly made their way to the ridge right above me because we did not have enough of the ones we don’t have already)
