  Cougars, Maine

  They are here. Three sightings in my yard in 4 months, 2 cougars twice and one the other time. Several reports recently also from neighboring towns within about 20 min ride of here. The one's my yard  were seen, separately, by  me and a friend, Dtr, and neighbor. I have taken precautions and taken up safety practices for my small dogs and children who play here. We have to learn to live together I guess. Seems we can't get scientific proof, scat, hair, prints. They seem to find rocky areas to travel, walk softly and carry a big tail!..hahaha
  Eventually there will be more and more and something will give to prove it, road kill or something. Then those of us who have seen can feel less "crazy" and be fortunate to have to seen them and be able to tell our stories. I don't feel the need to have a wildlife degree to tell the difference between a coyote and a cougar.
