Cougars and wolfs O my

Post by brokebow »

Yes ,here in Wisconsin the cougar sightings are not uncomon,and we have to get the wolf population going again,and I haven't found out why? I wish I had kept the pictures of the cougar that was on a guys deck,looking through a sliding glass door at his children playing on the floor. BOY what a shot. In buffalo County I know people that won't let there children walk to the school bus because of the wolves. I can't figger it out. We finaly got rid of these critters ,and now they want them back. I still like to be head of the food chain. Jerry

Pydpiper:
It was someone from the MNR. The guy who saw it called the MNR and they had someoen in the area who came by and saw the cougar. When i said they confirmed it i ment they saw it, knew it was not a bobcat. and by the time it had left and they checked the footprints confirmed it was a cougar.

I believe if i saw it in the bush while hunting i would be fearing my life and therefore proibably shoot it.

for those who are worried about cougars, and getting attack. I remember seeing pictures of a donkey or mule fighting to the death with a coug. Results were “ get a donkey or mule!”

A ice fisherman was attacked by a cougar last w/e as he was coming off the ice in North Dakota. The cougar allegedly was guarding it's recent kill when the fisheman stumbled onto it. He suffered bites and scratches but is OK but is having to undergo rabies shots.

I think these are the photos BrokeBow was refering to:

"From a guy out in Spooner WI, pictures taken from his spam onto his deck. The cat was watching his little kids playing on the spam floor. "

No doubt! I'd have fixed his wagon, sure 'nough.

When it comes to critters and men, there is such a thing as too close ... and too brazen ... I'd say that qualifies.

I've read that there are more diary and journal (and folklore) accounts of cougar attacks and predation from the early days of expansion and settlement than there are of trouble with any other predators.

It seems that in the Eastern US especially, settlers took pains to eliminate cougar populations because they were so troublesome ... not because they were "game" or "sport" ... but because they were a nuisance in areas where people lived too.

I know one thing: I'd eliminate him if he came staring in my window like that. That ain't no kitten. Letting a big cat like that become so bold just isn't smart.
