The night against Denver when Brady dropped back into the shotgun and called the audible "Cougar!...Cougar Linda..Cougar!!" was absolutely priceless....

Just sayin'

When can we start hunting them?

 

[dhuze]

But I thought the Fish & Game offices said they weren't here? I'm so confused.

 

[GM-GUY]

Be careful what you wish for, the Feds might just get involved declare the whole area 'sensitive habitat' and shut it down.

You don't hunt them, THEY hunt YOU!

Hey this is NES what do you expect?!?!

 

[Mountain]

Already have my own cougar, as far as that goes.

We did have a mountain lion sighting ~1-1/4 mile from my house. Avid hunter who works at Mrs. Mountain's employer spotted it in the early AM near the Holden Reservoirs in some conservation land. They are an extremely stealthy animal- you may rarely see one even if you are in cougar country. I've been on some 2 week backpacking treks out west and have seen fresh tracks and/or scat, but no cat.

Oh my....

 

[Knob Creek]

Usually a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon and a recording of Journey's greatest hits will bring them in.

You'd think I was new here on NES.

Or, I'm an idiot.

the wiley cougar in her lair....

this is actually nothing new. I saw a black panther shot in Connecticut back in the 1960's. I touched the thing, it was as big as i was. Had funky BIG retractable claws in its massive paws.

I witnessed a big cat in Charlemont mass in 1996. It was only 20 yards from me. When I called the EPO to tell them of the sighting they laughed and said we do not have any, it was a bob cat. Have you seen a bob cat with a 4 foot tail? Obviously not.

That's Massachusetts.

This is twelve inches over the border in Vermont--the roaming big cats read the sign "Entering Massachusetts" and stop, turn around, and go back.
