I'm hearing that there are mountain lions in the southern part of Illinois, from guys who hunt there all the time. It's a little scary, since there never used to be ANY wildlife there to speak of at all.

Yes, and they've mentioned you by name.

Cougar attacks come and go here. Two decades ago this was all farmland or wilderness area, and with development they left a lot of green belts. Always have to be on the lookout for mountain lions and coyotes.
