Hi jimbob
I'm pretty much all over the Sudbury area. The company I work for has mining properties all over the basin, and surounding area, as well as Kirkland and Larder Lakes, Shining Tree, Sultan, as well as in BC. I'm the company bushwacker. Really, I talk to so many people while I'm out in the bush that tell me they see cougars, if only a quarter of them actually did see one, there would be tracks everywhere. I've never even seen one that was even close, if you really streched it, to being a cougar track.

hehe nop.

I don't call my dog a mutt just because his daddys a walker and his mommas a beagle. Hes a beagle.

If i remember correctly there are 2 chromosomes difference between a horse and a donkey. That why mating them is tough, generally the male of the breeding pair is the donkey (don't remember why tho) which creates essentially a smart stubborn poney that requires less care and can generally pull like a some#####.

It isn't that tough ... the resultant first fillial offspring is called a mule !
Not exactly a "smart, stubborn pony" ... and sterile to boot !

Well, there are cougars in ont, the ministry let 40 or so go in the luther marsh becasue hunters arn't doing their jobs. If you do shoot one they have an ear tag that has a ministry number on there, you can call them and they will wonder how you got the number and they will finaly admit everything when you tell them you got the number from the dead cougar you just shot cause it's killing your sheep. But as far as i'm concerned kill away!!!

Where did they get 40 cougar?
 
I have a miniature donkey that I keep with my Quarterhorses. He is very intelligent. Broke to ride and drive and a natural guard. Whenever he perceives a threat, usually a dog, he will put himself betweeen the horses and the threat and face it until it leaves or he puts the hooves to it. I highly reccommend them.

its just like saying Sens and TML are the same
 
Losing lambs

Cougars possibly, but I'm thinking dogs- I've had experience with them. Kill for thefun of it
 
Well, you could always buy a predator decoy. I was in Wholesale Sports teh other day and they have plastic coyotes with realistic tails that move in the breeze. Cougars are territorial like most predators if it percieves a threat or competition it will back down; however if it is coyotes they might even muster around the decoy or close to it as if to organize a hunt.
 
I've spent some time in the bush and the only cougar I've seen was one frozen stiff in the back of a farmers truck near Fort Vermillion, AB, shot while it was caught in a snare. Scary big pussy cat.

TBS, if the MNR says there are no cougars in your area and you shoot one going after your livestock, how could they charge you?
 
Last weekend in the Parry Sound area, whilst I was out in the woods putting up a tree stand, I came across another cougar over a freshly killed Sasquatch.

I was quite surprised, didn't know the Sasquatch roam this far East.
 
Boy I hope you catch whatever it is and post pics ... as that's the best read I've had in awhile ... interesting stuff ... mysterious ... :D

Well, when you think of how they are increasing in BC, now that they have discoverd potatoes, I guess it was reasonable they had to espand to somewhere.
 
No, the sheep and lambs were locked in the barnyard (well away from the bush) for 2 straight weeks. After that there weren't anymore kills this season. Unfortunately the mystery continues...
 
Regardless to the MNR commenting on cougars of be non-existant they are around and increasing in numbers. The owners of a Trailor park resort outside Lindsay saw a couger twice this spring and was actually followed by one down the snowmobile trail for a distance. She luckily had her dog but the cougar still followed them until they got back close to the park. Until someone shots or traps one the MNR will deny, its just a matter of time. A friend of mine called me last summer and told me he had one cross a logging road in front of him in his truck up in the Red Lake area.
