[Zach Matthews]

Here’s an interesting poll for us.

Are we talking about the animals or the middle aged woman looking for young meat?

[Bob Riggins]

I don’t know about anywhere else, but they most definately live in Florida.

Exactly!

[Zach Matthews]

It was more of a word limit problem.

[Bob Riggins]

I think there are Cougars in Houston, but I know there are TIGERS in Memphis.

What do ya’ll think about that black one?

[jake atkins]

Yes, There is no question that they do. They are not in large numbers, but in my home state of Kansas we have seen many tracks and my father and I saw a small cougar while pheasant hunting in Kingman County, as well as countles numbers of farmers that have seen them. Why the Wildlife and Parks will not admit they are here I do not know.

[Zach Matthews]

Chances are very good they’re all escapees of one kind or another, but the point is, the habitat is there, there is no one hunting them (legally), and there’s nothing standing in the way of the cougars coming back.

The Cougar
Drinks… Chianti or port
Listens to… Fleetwood Mac
Potentially dangerous and always unpredictable, the Cougar stalks at night—waiting to sink her well-manicured claws into the backs of helpless young ski bums. Large populations lurk at high-end resorts all over the world. Satiated by a bevy of furs and the well-appointed ski-in/ski-out second home they won in the divorce, Cougars can be tender and generous benefactors. Most importantly, the Cougar doesn’t expect much outside of an energetic shagging from someone who in no way resembles her driven and successful ex-husband (like yourself).

I suppose there are ski towns east of the rockies so cougars must live there, stowe would be perfect habitat

Some probably are, infact a few that have been hit by vehicles in western kansas were. But, I believe that some are not. I think there are wild cougars in the midwest, they may have always been here, or migrated back, that I dont know.

There are several species of animals that were once native, dissapeared and are moving back to the mid west. Brown bears are being seen more frequently in Colorado, Wolves have been seen around Ft.Collins, and Jaguars have been captured on game cameras in Arizona and New Mexico. Parts of Oklahoma, the panhandle, are beginning to report cougars sightings as well.

Patrick –

Coincidentally, the editor of Powder is none other than Tom Bie, who also happens to edit The Drake.

[patrick mccormick]

I’ll pick it up next time I see one I never realized that Powder has taken a turn for the better since Tom took over as editor!

[Carter Simcoe]

There’s only one a year, well supposedly two now, you can buy back issues though.

[patrick mccormick]

well they sell them at the fly shop here so I’ll pick one up, it’ll give me a good excuse to ask Brad about the fishing since I got back from steelheading
