A crazed Cougar or puma has been captured by a hunters tripod camera in rural backwater Kansas recently and the dramatic and sudden expansion of the Mountain Lion in lands of no Mountains or giants has been stunning. The hunter captured the crazes left of center Cougar after reviewing his all day camera in a key huting spot in Kansas and upon further research there have been al indications of the cougar thriving in the plains and wilds of the state of Kansas.
So, is Kansas becoming overrun with the large, predatory felines? Is it still safe to let the horse out of the barn and the kids play outdoors? Is the day coming when we might at least have a resident mountain lion population?
According to biologists the answer is no, yes, and ... mmmmm, maybe.
Like most of the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains, Kansas’ original mountain lion population was gone in the early 1900s, due to unregulated hunting. They were gone from the prairie states for many decades. The Lion had been expanding but it was not until one was shot to death in 2007 by the land owner of a local ranch was there absolute proof that the Cougar had returned to kanas. There have been a dozen or so confirmed sightings not including this visual photo proof last week by a bow hunter whose photos went viral and are not included in the Crazy Cougar blog. many fear the reutn of the cougar but tis big cat is no pest and sure would deplete the local pests and field mice in and around the land of Oz. Bowhunters are excited as well, as the return of this beast means many more opportunities for hunting big game especially ones that one can boast proudly of the hunt to his beer belly drinking bellies and how great it was to pierce the belly of a Puma beast.
