In the last 3 years i've heard 4 ppl in my area saying they have seen one..2 of those are relatives. I personally havent seen one yet but i could imagine there may be a few out and about. I remember a few yrs ago telling my buddy that i had saw 2 cougars in different areas and he thought i was fibbin until they caught one on their trail cam.. a few months past and cougar sighting were poppin up all over the state.
A picture is worth a thousand words
