Spot ON !!!!

Cougar are about as adaptable as coyotes, and they are prolific breeders.
Like coyotes, all they need are feed/deer and a little cover. I think they could do well in nearly all 50 States. Tgey are apparently even expanding into Alaska; Hawaii might be a little tough though.

Here in good ol Illinois, they are protected, along with black bear and wolves.

That's the mindset that has shutdown hunting them. Emotions over reality.

…. Your favorite animal in the world would bite precious Jordy’s head off without thinking twice about it lol

They arent Corn or Prairie Lion, and there arent any mountains in Iowa. They gotta go!

I heard that one was called in? Thatd be a helluva rush

I’ve watched two coming in while working coyotes. One in Arizona and one in Montana. Interesting indeed.

Osky

To bad, was a collared cat could of gave a lot of info on them, clearly reading some of the posts on here most dont have a clue about them, and some learning would help.

… that one I busted taught me something

… they got a 10 foot vertical when a 150 grain hits them behind the shoulder

… heck of a sight to behold

I wonder if a duke #3 would hold one????

Shipped from Amazon in the box!

Yep. And wolf. And bear.

I agee with this. In the southwest part of Wisconsin where I'm at is farm country, neither of them belong here. Of course the brilliant DNR in this state protects them. A calf or cow wouldn't have much of a chance against one. Here the only good cougar or wolf would be a dead one.
Kinda hard to believe the ones who don't understand that.

Just Anchor it good, we have caught and held them in bridger #3's

She said "she" couldnt, not you shouldnt. I can not bring myself to shoot a fox, we dont have many, dont care if you do.

I saw a Mt Lion with my own eyes back in the late 80’s. It was in the river hills of the Gasconade. It was never seen again in that area that I’m aware of. I hear reports occasionally of a siting somewhere in MO. I’m sure there are some passing through. Maybe some of our ex-conservation folks can comment.

And if it were go on the ballot , how do you think that'd go ?

The instant someone throws their emotions into wildlife conservation, I don't trust them.

Trust me when I say I couldn’t care less for your opinion.
I didn’t beat anybody up about the post.
Just saying I didn’t care for the presentation of the photo and I wouldn’t want to hunt a mountain lion.
Also didn’t say I Wouldn’t .

I've seen how thoughts like that change policy. You might not care about my opinion , but I certainly care about yours . It could affect wildlife conservation that doesn't directly effect you.

Would they eat dead rotten pigs like coyotes do? If that’s the case they’ll thrive here.
