My most recent sighting was while driving back down south from visiting my folks near Thunder Bay. Was on highway 11 about 45 mins west of Cochrane when a big cat walked across the highway in front of me, close enough I had to get on the binders to make sure I didn't hit him. I couldn't get over how big the thing was!
I've seen one or two over the years growing up a little east of TBay, and several family members that have made sightings as well. They are unquestionably roaming around, but still few and far between. They probably will fade a bit in my neck of the woods, deer populations took a sh!t kicking a couple winters in a row now, lots near town, but out in the brush, not nearly as much sign as there used to be.
Hopefully these cougars don't get a taste for moose meat! With the wolves being pretty thick up there, last thing they need is another predator thinning the herd.
