Cougars are coming

I think some are here and not just the kind that used to frequent Jim Porter's.

I did see a trail cam pic from Lewis County that was in no way a bobcat and definitely a much larger cat. It was clear as day. Whether it was a domestic release or not, not sure, but running into a bobcat is no where near the same as running into a mountain lion / cougar / puma

Well your no fun.

Well your no fun.

I saw a racoon riding one through Jefferson County last week. They're everywhere.:idunno:

Don't they also deny armadillos are established in KY?

[Randy Parker]

So these are the actual animal kind of cougars & not the Watusi kind of cougars, right?

[BengalBob]

I heard a cougar was looking at a horse farm near Lexington last month. Of course, that could have just been Ann Margaret . . .

Not sure, I'll see if I can find anything.

Unless I am misinterpreting all of this data, they acknowledge them in all these counties

I'm 40 and have lived in Henderson all but about 6 months of my life. The 6 months was when I was a baby. I've heard people claim cougars were in KY for at least 3/4 of that 40 years but I've never seen one alive, dead, or a credible picture of one.

 

Until 1 year ago I had never heard anyone claim armadillos lived in KY until one of my best friends took the picture I posted in this forum of a dead one in Henderson.

 

To summarize, 25+ years of hear stories of cougars = zero proof...0 years of claims armadillos live in KY = 1 pic of a dead one in my home town.

Sweet info. Thanks!

There should be no confusion between a bobcat and a mountain lion. Totally different looking.
