February 17, 20179 yr TWRA confirms cougars in Tennessee @spindoc are you ready? Thought this was going to be about the bar scene in Gatlinburg.
February 17, 20179 yr Someone must have had cougars in the past few years and they've escaped because that cat hasn't been east of the Mississippi for a long time.
February 17, 20179 yr Be interesting to see how/if this plays out. TWRA is confirming their existence due to ready availability of deer. Also they are protected in TN according to the article (any animal where there is no hunting season). Would they be in KY? I already know the answer to this because one roamed to Paris, KY a couple of years ago, and it was "dispatched" by a Fish and Wildlife Officer. KY is one of the most backward states in the country in so many ways. Edited February 17, 20179 yr by doomer
February 17, 20179 yr Thought this was going to be about the bar scene in Gatlinburg. A big this... Well done OlDog75!
February 21, 20179 yr Thought this was going to be about the bar scene in Gatlinburg. That would read, TWRA reports Crabs found.
February 21, 20179 yr Bee stings are the largest killer of humans in the U.S. directly caused by animals. An allergic reaction to the venom in bee's kills 53 people per year. I would be a lot more worried about African Killer Bees populating Kentucky than Mountain Lions.

February 22, 20179 yr 24 deaths related to cougars in North America since 1890 according to Wikipedia; 15 of those in the U.S. I think we're safe.
