I've never actually seen cougar tracks before, so I thought I'd post these here and see what the folks on this forum who live in mountain lion country think about these tracks. All I know for sure is that they are not lynx or wolf tracks. The guy who took these pictures claims he saw it momentarily, and thought that it was probably a cougar, but couldn't get a picture fast enough. There have been rumors flying around these parts for years of mountain lion sightings here or there, but no one seems to ever get a picture, or catches one. ADF&G in Glennallen says they have never officially documented a mountain lion in this area. What do you think? "I'm sorry for hurting your feelings when I called you stupid,... I thought you already knew,..."
