Indiana cougar!
Local news had a confirmed cougar spotted not four blocks from my home here in Terre Haute IN. Coyotes are getting to be a huge problem on the out skirts of the city, but a cougar! I have a two year old that loves our back yard, may not reach for the .204, but if he was ever in harms way, I would definitely reach for something! I have not much knowledge about them, as they are not very common around here. I guess with the huge deer populations, and farmers with thousands of acres that no one can hunt, anything is possible. Bob cats are getting to be as common a road kill as coons anymore though.

Re: Indiana cougar!
Fatman, sounds like here in Oregon, the tree huggers made it so you can't hunt cougars with dogs anymore so now they are as thick as democrats at a government handout. 
Can't wait for the government to take away our guns so we will have to fight them with sharp sticks!

Re: Indiana cougar!
They are becoming a little more common in Indiana. I am certain I glassed one over at the family farm last October but out over 1000yds with some cheap binos it was hard to be 100%. And my brother swears he saw one about a mile from where I was during the 07 deer season. Not to very close to Terre Haute, I'm about 30 mins north of Louisville.

Can't you hunt them there?Fatman wrote: Local news had a confirmed cougar spotted not four blocks from my home here in Terre Haute IN. Coyotes are getting to be a huge problem on the out skirts of the city, but a cougar!
Peace and love will get you killed. Unarmed helplessness is a welcome mat for evil. Self-defense is the most powerful, driving instinct in good people everywhere. To deny it is evil personified. Ted Nugent.

Re: Indiana cougar!
We have them here but rarely see them. Look for there tracks They have a large round print with round toe pads.
