Hi Randy and others on this thread - please jog my memory about the NS
cougar ? are we perhaps having our own population since there are various
sightings around the province or are these migrant NB cougars that have
come across the border and and taken up residence and flourished ? Correct
if I m wrong but is it Fred Scott who has done a lot of research on the NS
cougar based on sightings etc ?
Perhaps the pop is increasing and thus like coyotes are becoming more brazen
and closer to residences etc. Wow 2 in the backyard - could it be an adult
and youngster - how long do young stay with a say a mother ??
It may be a naive of me - but - wishful thinking that most people would
surely recognize the difference between a "house" cat and a "cougar" ? ? ?

I am thinking that "proof", not just "evidence" is needed for DNR to state,
"We have cougars in NS." They clearly cannot say "We don't have cougars in
NS", so them not making a commitment is perfectly understandable. I think I
remember one statement something along the lines of, 'We accept that there
may be cougars in NS.' What else do we expect them to say, given lack of
proof?

Why do you-all think DNR would be so reluctant to espouse the idea of
cougars in NS? Is their reluctance a good thing, since we don't want the
kind of hysteria that is surrounding coyotes?
