NO Cougars in Ontario

[blasted_saber]

I just finished my hunter education course and opn teh wall they had a trail cam pic that clearly showed a cougar right behind a doe. No doubt in my mind it was a cougar. The attached article said the photo was taken just east of Peterbourgh.

I have no way of knowing for certain if it was taken in Ontario but I don't have any cause to not belive it.

Is this it? Its been floating around the internet for ages and is most definitely not from ON.

That's not even a whitetailed deer. It's a blacktail likely from BC.

They should be out and about sometime after 10 PM

This one was out at midnight looking for her next victim.

Take a good look at the actual size of Ontario. There's so much land and water, hell you can drive as many miles north as you'd drive south to
Florida and still be in Ontario. Most people fail to realize the size of this province and the amount of untouched wilderness. Saying there's no Cougars in this province is far from provable. A friend followed one down a logging road in his truck for nearly 100yds up in Earr Falls. He will not go berry picking without a gun ever again.

Not saying there aren't cougars here but that picture can't be from Ontario. That's not a whitetailed deer so it isn't a picture from Ontario.

i agree there's just to much land here in Ontario to say other wise

Sorry this one is too easy.
I don't even need to do bark analysis on the trees to know that this is not an Ontario deer.
The western deer -- Pacific Black Tail or Mule Deer has a short narrow tail ending a black tip.
How pathetic that any one would think this is from Ontario!!
There are NO cougars in Ontario.

I've seen some BIG cat prints out towards the back of the property I hunt earlier this winter.
Farmer keeps telling me locals have been talking a lot and are certain there's one in the area.
