I haven't heard of the one you mention, but I had a letter recently from =
New Brunswick from a friend of mine who is an experienced woodsman who =
said he saw a cougar in his yard recently. I believe the story because a =
number of years ago I saw a cougar chase a deer across the road in front =
of my car at short range. I have studied the cougar at Shubenacadie =
Park, and there is no question but that was what I saw.

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.=20
