Dead Cougar near Kakabeka Falls (Looks like killed by Porcupine)

[GW11]

I would order DNA testing 8+ yeas ago. Back when I was associated with the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.
It could take 3-6 months for a DNA report.
If you think it happens like CSI--- it does. Once you start the test, the results return reasonably quickly.
But in Ontario, unless you are testing for an extremely high profile case, there is an enormous wait time until the Lab Tech/Scientists get to processing the sample.

Good to know, thanks for the info! I've been checking every now and again in the news for the results (with no luck obviously) and figured there would be others on here with experience in the area.
