Good lord, I live near there. I may have to organize a little “hunt” to see if we can photograph the thing!

A Morris Township resident in Shewano County sent us a picture that was confirmed to be a mountain lion filmed in August 2004.

A copy of picture was sent to Wildlife DNR Biologist Eric Erickson, who has yet to respond, although we did get a return receipt from the DNR office.

The cat was filmed by a trail camera from 50 feet at dusk. Perhaps Loren might be interested in putting the picture, copyrighted by the Eastern Puma Research Network on this Cryptomundo website in the future.

There have been sightings here in Michigan for years now, with tracks and scat aplenty, but the DNR refuses to acknowledge any of them. They write them off as the usual “escaped pet”.

The problem is that if they give the cougars a nod, they have to protect them and their money situation won’t allow them to do that.

Not too surprised. I’ve seen some myself in the UP, and they aren’t supposed to be there either.
