Eastern Cougars?
Not in Maine, they ain't.
Don't pay any attention to the photos, to what you see, or what others report - the state says there are no cougars in Maine - so that's that...and I did not see a Canadian Lynx run down my drive and off through the forest either - no sirree...

I have puzzled for many years as to why younger people seem to see lions more that adults. For sometime I thought it was the cats were trailing them because they were smaller. I have since decided after years of retraining my own vision that adults look but often do not see. On the other hand bastards are good at hiding. I haven’t bagged one yet this year but hopefully next week.

The man dropped his rifle and rushed to get behind a tree. Darwin Award.
The one thing you don't do when a mountain lion attacks is to run away.

The man dropped his rifle and rushed to get behind a tree. Not loaded maybe? Empty single shot or blackpowder?
Must not have thought it would be of any use, or he just wet himself and ran.
As has been noted, running from a big cat will get you pounced on.

Nine taken so far in the past couple of weeks. That's the good news.
The bad news is that all but one (maybe two) were females, pointing to an early season closure with only 1/2 the quota of 35 harvested.
These guys need to get cracking on taking out some males.

It’s an allusion to an old bear joke. That’s what you find in bear scat. Heh heh...

Humans and coming into more empty territory where they roam. Prove it; as far as I can tell that's another eco-myth. Around here the land was settled for agriculture over a hundred-thirty years ago and abandoned when rural electrification powered well pumps down in the Santa Clara Valley. At that time the cats were under control. People started moving back in the 1970s. It wasn't until the Sierra Club sponsored a ballot initiative with all sorts of lies that the State banned hunting the cats that the cats have become a problem.
Now more of them are hunted and killed than ever, by unionized government hunters on a pension, where the State used to make a profit on tags.

I see them frequently in the mountains where I hunt. Of course, Im in CA where they cant be hunted.You can't legally hunt them in CA right now, but you can kill them if they threaten you. SSS is advisable in that case, however. Killing a mountain lion is almost worse than shooting a human in the eyes of the legal system.

I was thinking the same thing, what kind of a hunter drops his rifle and hides behind a tree?A "NEWBE", city slicker.

LOL!
There are starting to be cougars where I hunt. I have seen tracks, but never a live one. One wandered into my father’s farm a year or so ago, and dragged off a dead pig.
After that he bought an XD40 for doing chores.

A friend gave me a hind quarter from his lion. It was good. Lean and tasty.

One of our neighbors lost a dog in their backyard to a lion.
The folks were sitting in lawn chairs as the lion ran thru the yard and the lion caught the dog.
No kids yet.
