Cougars are SCARCE in Mn. Don't shoot them. I always like to know I live in a state with a nice variety of wildlife.</end quote></div>

We saw one run across the road last spring when we were driving to our entry point in the BWCAW. Big MFer!

They're so rare your supposed to call and report them to DNR every time you see one, right?

 

From the DNR:

The cougar, also known as mountain lion or Spam wordSpam word Spam wordSpam word Spam wordSpam word Spam wordSpam word , was never common in Minnesota but probably ranged over most of the state before it was settled. The last mountain lion taken in Minnesota was killed in Becker County, 1897. In recent years, there have been several reports based on sightings and tracks, especially north of Duluth.
Largest of the North American cats, the cougar may weigh over 200 pounds and measure nearly eight feet long. It usually preys upon deer, but also eats small rodents and rabbits.
Cougars apparently breed once every two to three years and produce litters of one to six kittens. The young are born with spotted coats which eventually fade as the animals turn a tawny brown.

 

So are you guys archery, rifle, muzzy....?

 

I hunt in the foothills state forest rifle for deer, and I grouse hunt there also. I Slug hunted down here this year, which produced a nice 8 pointer for me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Nice, I'm an archery deer hunter. We hunt up around the Mille Lacs area, but didn't have any luck this year.

 

thats funny last one reported was 1897. i know of a few that were taken within the last 2 years. and aren't they called mountain lions if they are in the mountain and cougars if they are here? and congrats catterman for your sucess. and why internatinal falls? that town stinks, and you know what i mean lol but i see how you can get your sucess there.
