dinarham Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 I live in a very woodsy part of Michigan ,one traffic light in the whole county . Years ago ,the DNR released 12 young male cougars into the woods in some kind of experiment to control the deer population . Then some Ted Nugent wannabees released female cougars into the area . Boom ! . I was walking down the beach one day and saw a a curious big object by the water's edge . I walked a little closer when this "object " stood up and had a big long tail . I high tailed it out of there . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
