There's several around. What IS true about that article is the loss of space as noted back in 2015. Edited March 9, 2022 by hiflier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a researcher on the East Coast who saw a mountain lion in the road and was blatantly told by the state government that mountain lions don't exist there. She asked around and one of her parks service friends verified that pumas are commonly denied because of management reasons out there.

Maybe a raccoon, raven, eagle, et all dragged it up there. I've personally seen dozens of northern pike carcasses way up in 80' cottonwood trees. I doubt they swam up there. I suppose sasquatches might have put them up there, but I suspected it was eagles. Maybe I should have called the FBI, but I doubt they would have halted their critical work protecting election integrity to investigate, especially in a fly-in/boat-in wilderness........unless the field agents wanted to enjoy trophy pike fishing during their smoke breaks......... But I bet ADFG could have told me over the phone. 15 minutes ago, BugMaster said: .........it all comes down to the dollar...

Out here it’s Wolves and Grizzly bears. Because they are protected. So when your cow or horse is eaten in your field? It’s never a Griz or a Wolf. That would be bad PR. So it’s always a Cougar or a Black bear predation. Unless your the biggest rancher in the state. They get some movement on Wolves. But little ranchers? Never.

They're still on the east coast (MT), what's really astounding is some of the stories that come from the area around the VA/NC border along the coast. I'd suggest that the more the govt. agencies have to manage the more funding they get.......so any new/or return species just means more dollars for study and control. At least that what seems to be happening with the yotes that have moved back into Central VA, although we could go down a whole other rabbit hole as to what these "yotes" really are IMHO.
