Cougar?

Looks like a cougar to me. At first I thought, why don't they get closer and get a better pic? Then I thought, cause it's a cougar

Pussy cat.

Fake news.

That's pretty funny, eight years old. Did you do image search or did you remember it or...?

I remembered it right away. It's been making the rounds on all the hunting sites and facebook pages for quite some time.

Almost all of the links in this thread are at least a few years old.

This is the biggest softball I've seen in a while, lol.

Not in NY or NE but it is pretty scary nonetheless:

Interesting read on cougars' expanding range. The map leaves out the one hit by a car in Connecticut a few years back though

We need this here... so cool...

I just finished a novel from the mid-90s called Water Witches, about a fictional northern Vermont ski resort planning an expansion to a nearby peak that will provide hundreds of direct and indirect jobs; however, two things threaten to throw a wrench in the project -- a severe drought that's drying up the river from which they'll draw snowmaking water and a sighting of almost extinct catamounts (eastern cougars) right where they're planning to cut trails. You also learn a lot about dowsers.

A fun summer read for people like us -- pick it up at your library!
