Mountain Lions...No way!

[WollMan]

OK, family has a place outside of Babbitt. About 15+ years ago our neighbor claims to have seen one on the shore of Birch Lake. My Grandfather, while deer hunting saw some very, very large cat tracks in the snow, and his only explaination was that it was a cougar, infact the same neighbor who also used to do a lot of trapping verified this. I personally have never seen one, but do believe that they live in MN, kinda scary. The only reason that people see wolves is that there are more wolves, and they are vocal so you can hear them.

Not to get off subject but my dad saw a Candian Lynx either last year or the year before while hunting south of Ely. They are not supposed to be here either, but they are.

"Cougar's" are sweet anyways, nothing better than a very hot late 30's early 40's woman, on the hunt.

WHat about that attack in ely a few yrs ago when several sources confirmed that a cougar had killed a couple horses??

Back home in kato, mt lions have been sighted in the whole mn river valley from the cities down to kato...Why not??! deer, rabbits, plenty of food, Rollign hardwoods forests and limestone bluffs...

If I see a bigfoot im pulling the trigger...

So be careful if you dress up like one and try to walk in front of ur buddies trailcams

makes a good prank!

Did you know that a cougar, mountain lion, puma, panther, and painter are all the same animal??

Just thought I would throw that in....

However, a panther can also mean a black jaguar.

Oh! What part of Birch Lake? I live there and better get the dogs inside tonight! We've been discussing this topic at work the last few days (unaware that this thread was going on) and 2 co-workers (including one biologist) have sighted cougars in the last couple of years. I have hunted northern Minnesota since 1964 and have never seen a cougar, but did see some 8" pugs in fresh snow on the Holstrum spur north of Effie in the late 1970's.

Hey, just remember to positively ID it as a bigfoot first, I resemble that remark, or so my kids tell me

As for cougars, who doesnt like a mid forties age woman on the prowl

I saw 4 or 5 cougars last weekend in downtown Minneapolis. They traveled in a group, loved their booze and asked my buddies and me to dance...

Wolf pics on trailcam? You bet...I've a good friend who has a deer camp up CTY 4 a ways north of Duluth. Late this summer, he checked his trail cam - he had a single picture with 6 timber wolves on his chip. I saw it with my own eyes - just amazing. They were probably 50 feet from the camera - maybe closer - but there was no mistaking it. Beautiful animals...I like them with a bit more color though

Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are.

I've got a picture of a T-wolf peeing on a mineral block I set out. Until the next rainstorm the deer refused to lick on it.

What a jerk!

It was around Moose point somewhere, not sure exactly. Saw 2 cougars today at a work meeting
