Same here in Michigan. The long dead kitties are being photographed on trail cams up north and there are increasing reports here in the south of the state.

Either Bush or Global Warming at fault. Still doing research to come up with the answer.

We need to place some eastern cougars in Central Park, along with bears and wolves, so libs can experience them in person.

I do feel that way. I don’t want to live in a world devoid of all things beautiful, mysterious and yes, a little dangerous.

I thought I saw a cougar near Baxley, GA several years ago. This was near the Altamaha River.
I had taken a hunter safety instructors course which included a presentation from a wildlife biologist. I talked to him later and he said there were no cougars in Mississippi. He also said they had around 50 alleged sightings every year.
When I phoned the local Georgia wildlife biologist, I told him I knew there were not supposed to be any left in that area and I was sure I was mistaken but I still wanted to report it.
He asked a bunch of questions and after we were through he said he would go out and check the place where I saw it. He said he too doubted it was a cougar but he said it was possible. My description of what it was doing and what it looked like were spot on according to him. He also said the place where I saw it was one of the few areas he could believe one lived if it had moved up from Florida.

My dad swears he’s seen and heard panthers late at night in the hills and hollers of southern West Virginia, back in the 50’s and 60’s. My uncles tell the same stories. There weren’t any deer there then, which the pumas might help explain. But now, there’s deer everywhere on my grandmother’s land. So, I don’t think there are any panthers around any more.

I dont know about you, but Id like to see a few small fluffy dogs eaten by cougars...ok make that all of them. ![](http://critteristic.com/wp-content/frontpage/quinnie2.jpg)
I'm with you, I hate the nasty little things.
And the owners don't even have the decency to leave them out at night so the coyotes can eat them.

But on the other hand, Id like them to come back and harass all the anti gun creeps and others that think they are above using physical force.
ROFLOL! Your reasoning is the only logical one for saving the Cougar population in North America I've ever seen! Bring them back! It might mean the horrific end to one more smelly pacifist hippy!

The article seems to indicate that they’re western cougars.

No, you’re rude. You can disagree without being a vulgar ass.
