Be kinda neat to have them prowlin' the woods of Wisconsin  again. Course, it will only give those unsuccessful deer hunters one more thing besides the wolves to blame their failure on. Odds are some sap will shoot it too.

They claim this is only the 2nd confirmed report of cougar in the state since they were exterminated here. A friend of mine has several pictures he has taken over the last coupla years of a cougar on his property. When he shows 'em to a warden they say, yep it's a cougar, but unless we take the pictures or see it in person, we can't verify it.

We had a guy at work that insisted that he saw a Mountain Lion while he was hunting. We just laughed at him. I sure hope he doesn't see EsoxLucius' report above. I don't think crow tastes all that good. :-[

Good post EsoxLucius.

On several occasions while my family was having fried chicken I was having crow!  With the proper preparation  and the right mind set its not so bad !   ;)

Don't even admit it's wild. It was just a tame one that got out and never came back. The #$%^&* liberals are going to demand a 5 million dollar environmental impact study every deer season. Lord omly know where the liberals are going to go with this.

...and start repairing highways instead of building too many schools, and reducing gradeschool class sizes to ridiculous numbers... :-\
