I got it in an e-mail saying it was Buffalo County Wisconsin...and supposedly it was "confirmed" to come from one of the locals cameras. I think they are full of it. The one cat has a yellow ear tag in it's right ear, and from what i've pulled from various sources it's a cat that was tagged in the Dakotas.

I got it also saying west central wisconsin...I too am using my B.S. card. Unless someone killed a doe and put it in front of their game camera the odds of this, without any other previous pics, well I'm no vegas bookie but I'd say it's off the board. Looks like someone with a couple of "pet" cats and a fresh roadkill to me...

I guess I'm the only one who will put a camera on a gut pile or dead deer to see what kind of pics I can get?

Here's the story as told by the WI DNR.
"These photos were taken by Dan & Arlette Schweitzer, of Keystone, SD on October 9, 2008. The photos are of an adult female cougar and apparently her 2 nearly grown cubs. They were feeding a white-tailed deer killed by the cougars near the Schweitzer property just west of Hayward, SD, and about 4 miles east of Keystone. The adult female has a yellow ear tag, and cougar researcher, Brian Jansen of South Dakota State University, believes she was a study animal that had recently slipped her collar. The pictures are not of any cougars in Buffalo or Trempealeau Counties in WI, or any location in northern Minnesota"
I know many doubt that the DNR tells the truth about anything but I feel that this sounds more plausable than the stories I have heard at the tavern lately concerning these cougars....

There's five photos total in that series.
Still pretty neat. 2nights ago I talked to a one of my landowners and he said he found a couger track in his pasture. He wanted to take me to look at it, but I had to get to another town to buy some blackpowder.

Cats, and more than one
These pics were sent to me 4 times now. I can't validate them because I don't know who they originated from. Supposedly these were taken from a trail cam in Fort Calhoun Nebraska. For those who don't know, Fort Calhoun is located just north and west of Omaha. There have been repoted sightings of cats in the area but of course when the authorities arrive, no cats.

Then you know me because those are my trail cam photos. Taken in my backyard. I personally tagged the one female. She was a bugger to hold down. Had to have my 10 year old daughter help. /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
JK! I understand they are pics from the Hills in SD.
