I also posted in the Lounge.
We have had sightings in our area(mostly in lower Michigan) for years, with few documented. But now in Indiana, in my own yard, we had a cougar sighting. At 9am this past Saturday morning, I had 2 different neighbors claim that they saw this cougar walking thru my front yard. I am not surprised because we have a heavily used game trail in the back yard that follows a spring fed creek at the Mich/Indiana state line and empties into the St. Joseph River a mile to my west. Glad I don't have a outdoor cat or dog for that matter!
