Amazingly, the wolves have re-appeared in the part of Illinois that I live in. I used to hear them frequently, occasionally see them about 10 years ago, then they stopped.

Back in August, I was awakened to the howling of a few wolves around midnight - 1am. The windows were open in the bedroom and they didn't sound too far off.

I live in Will County, in a somewhat still rural area of the county. Frankly, I welcome the wolves back. The deer population here has EXPLODED and something needs to trim the deer herd back since the damn' state won't let us shoot them.

See #14 and consider this: What are you going to do when the wolf population is out of control? Shoot them?

I've read accounts of Cougars seen out in Will and DeKalb counties. Any truth to that?
