They're Here
in earlier posts I have mentioned that the Eastern U.P. is great cougar habitat and that it was only a matter of time until a cougar would be confirmed here.
That time is now.
The evidence is a trail cam photograph and paw prints near DeTour and Gulliver.
Picture and information is posted at MichiganCougar.com from right next to Neeebish Island in Bruce Township
For the news stories see:
9and10News: Cougar Confirmed in Upper Peninsula
ChicagoTribune: Officials confirm more cougar evidence in UP
SooToday: Cougar tracks confirmed in DeTour, Gulliver areas
I find this both terrifying and thrilling even though I know my chance of ever seeing a cougar in the wild is basically zero.
