If you’d like to be on or off this Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting/hiking/backpacking/National Parks/animals list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.

This article annoys me. DNR talks about how cougars stalk, attack humans etc... and then they demand that no hunters shoot the cougar because they are “endangered”. So, no shooting but you can “group up together” and make noise to scare it away?! Yeah, right.

[astounded]

I’ve seen a few really nice specimens at my local watering hole.....

[Ditter]

It would be nice to know the state they are talking about.

"Male probably because it's traveling long distances. Our nearest breeding population of cougars is Black Hills of South Dakota," says Lizotte.

Could be Canadian...

That's why some hunters are making sure they keep their eyes open on their big hunting trip.

Yeah God forbid the big mighty hunters have some real competition.

A group of four of us saw a cougar over in the Colby, WI area—this was five-six years ago. DNR is a little late with the warnings to hunters...not that I think there is much danger to adult humans from the cat what with the smorgasbord of kitty treats available to them in rural Wisconsin.

A word of caution for hunters from the Department of Natural Resources. They say there's a cougar on the loose.

A cougar on the loose? They're worried about a cougar? And how did this cougar get loose in the first place? Did the owner kill himself before he freed it? What a silly story.

Pure BS, I live in Vilas County. I've seem cougar tracks for the last five years. An alpha pedator, these cats are as much as ten feet long. From tip of the tail to the tip of his nose, the largest cat taken down south was twelve feet long.

When I lived in Montana I knew an elk hunter. He told me that last year, he was doubling back after stalking elk up the mountainside. He spotted a big cat laying motionless sunning himself on top of a large rock at twilight. This cat laying alongside his trail in ambush. With almost no fear this cat was patiently waiting for the elk hunter, knowing he would return the way he had just walked up the mountain!

If that doesn't frighten you imagine a two hundred pound cat with teeth 3.5 inches long. Razor like claws, which are sharp as any Ginzo knife. I know, because when I called him a liar, he went over to his freezer and pulled out a cougar skin complete with the animals skull and jaw intact.

Every year, I read stories from out West about cougars taking children and infants as prey. Their lifeless bodies are almost always found high up in nearby trees where the cats stashes them for future feeding.

How long before we have dead hikers, tourists, or children decorating our forests? The DNR is hopelessly behind the curve.

Another good reason for Wisconsin open carry laws. They might have acted just in time to prevent another needless tragedy

—according to my brother-in-law—(a retired deputy sheriff who does know mountain lion from a housecat) there are verifiable sightings in Grant County, (Wisconsin) too-—

I wonder if the cougar warnings might mean there’s now a market for orange safety vests with googly-eyes sewn on the back? Hmmmmm.....
