Cougar Sightings??

A work acquaintance of mine was returning from a Canadian fishing trip about a week and half ago. Some where in the vicinity of Minong or so along highway 53 he says he saw what he swears was a cougar. This guy doesn't seem prone to just making up tales, allegedly had his two teenaged grandsons along as witness. Anyone here have or hear of anything verifying stories like this?? Kind of cool, yet a bit unnerving if you walk northern streams as i occasionally do alone. So, what say ye? Thanks, bob p.

Hey rob, I suppose when lions are born they are full grown? You must be right!

when I was hunting two years ago I saw a cougar when I was up in my treestand and then the next morning my father had it by his stand when he got there in the dark. northern Wisconsin. sawyer county. also had a guy driving around last year looking for one but I think it was panther. and the one I saw was a cougar

I also just saw the video. Couger, mountain lion... Im not sure how you can possibly think its a legitimate African lion. You do realize they are like 4 times bigger then a couger don't you?

It was an African lion, not a mountain lion. I saw the video.

Supposedly there was a mountain lion spotted roaming around the streets of milwaukee .

Last week. I was out for dinner with my girlfriend and her mom. 3 way? I sure hope so. Rawr

And just because people tell you you are crazy doesn't make it so! I remember a guy shooting an ostrich bow hunting a few yrs back near fox lake! He stated that he was being chased by a valhsa raptor! as it turned out the ostrich was a guys pet that lived about 5 miles away and had gotten out of his pen a few days earlier. Apparently the bird was super friendly and was just following a human home. But I'm guessing in a dark swamp and some 9 ft two legged beast is crashing thru the brush a guy mite think things have really taken a turn for the worst! Point being I find lions easier to believe then ostriches in fox lake wi but I know there was one raptor out there. Anything is possible!

That is not a whitetail guys zoom in, the ears are not from any deer I have ever seen! The shoulder profile is all wrong for a deer as is the profile. Really zoom in and look at it. I am in prescott az write now "mountain lion central" I have shown that pic to at least 10 guys that live here and hunt here, all of them said cat!! I believe you got a pic of a lion. I know I can hear it already but zoom in and really look at the ears and body lines.

they have been in Washburn county, Casey Creek Flowage area. saposedly DNR worked with bear hunting group to tree'd one in an attempt to tranquilize it but blew it. cat got away. i have seen tracks in the area but no sightings in the same area.

Saw a show on NATGEO last night called Cougar vs Wolf. It seems that cougars will kill a wolf if it gets a chance. Very interesting. So maybe there is an upside to having a small cougar population in Wisconsin.

You guys are right,I guess I got Cougar fever.

Ehh...whitetail. Cougar has a white butt, but not so much white on the sides of the tail.

Strange rear end for a whitetail if it is...

Looks like a deer.
