Sorry Andrew, a source close to DNR in Milton says it is a hoax. the picture 
is of a big cat from out west. the story has been around awhile but seems to 
be recirculation. On the other hand I know first hand they exist here. I 
have seen one in the Granite Village area. No one believes me but I know 
what I saw and not from too far away. . :?)

Subject: [NatureNS] A Cougar Story


On the off chance there's something to this ...

One of the old-timers who hangs out in my printship off and on came in today 
and told me that a friend of his had emailed him to report that a large male 
cougar had been struck by a car inland of Liverpool somewhere, either 
yesterday or recently. He claims to have a photo, though I've not seen it 
personally. My friend reports that the animal was not fully killed my the 
blow from the vehicle and that someone from DNR had to come out and shoot 
it. He quoted a weight in excess of 200 pounds, but I don't know how much 
fishing story math is involved here.

I can't personally vouch for any of this. But has anyone else heard anything 
about this alleged incident? I would think that if it were true someone at 
DNR or one of the biology departments would know about it by now.
