I don’t think regular house cats get that big to be tall enough to look over woven wire with all four feet on the ground in a ditch.

I don’t think regular house cats get that big to be tall enough to look over woven wire with all four feet on the ground in a ditch.
Obviously, but people are stupid. I'm on a lot of hunting related forums and you wouldn't believe how many times I've seen people post trail camera pictures of "mountain lions" that are very obviously a house cat. And that's from HUNTERS. People who, you would think, know better.
Again, even if it was a mountain lion, what's the DNR to do? Gather up all the conservation officers for a county wide cougar hunt?
Came for the cougar, stayed for the disappointment
There is video of it now on kcci.

This is all because of that Des Moines pollution coverup conspiracy isn't it?
Yep, that was a couple years ago.....total denial for decades before that. Good work though.
Perhaps stop denying that they exist, that was my only point.
Again, the only reason they have had to change their tune is due to the existence of trail cameras and people actually hitting them with cars or shooting them.
So the part in the article that says the DNR had confirmed 21 in Iowa since 1995 slipped by you I guess?
If that guy had opened that door about 10 seconds earlier he was in line for a good old fashion pants ****ing.
Took until page 3 for someone to say it... I'm very impressed
Have a friend that works for the DNR who says until approximately 15 years ago when someone hit and killed a cougar in western IA, there was widespread opinion that these cats were not in Iowa. Now established they are here. Majority of reported sightings still turn out to be bobcats or some other animal but some are accurate. Also says common conspiracy theory is DNR has been secretly releasing cougars to combat high deer populations.
Predators follow prey. There are more bobcats and cougars in Iowa then the general population would like to hear. Just a fact of life. Maybe it can rid des moines of all of the yippy small dogs that don't stop barking
Has JLH reached cougar status yet?
She had a kid a couple of years ago, so now she is a MILF!! Thinking MILF=Cougar, so yes she has reached cougar status.
Her and Jennifer Aniston are amazing and timeless.
