We've had two Cougar sightings here locally in the last year .....

Here in Illinois we've had numerous cougar sightings that the
experts pooh-pooh, but they can't dismiss actual cougar corpses.
The first was found hit by a train in Randolph County (SW IL) in
2000 and the second was found in Mercer County (NW IL) just last
week with a hole in its body.

The sightings were in Lake County, the northernmost of the "collar
counties" that surround Chicago and not all that far from Wolfie
in Milwaukee.
