At least the article didn't mention that 21-25 year old men were in any immediate danger from an attack.

I am a lot more concerned about the 4 legged ones. We follow cougar safe procedures when hiking.

Cougar have been seen within 100 feet of our house on several occassions. Our house is next to a river backed by woods and mountains. Wildlife come down on a regular basis for water. One of my friends was snowshoeing behind our house many years ago when a cougar began stalking him. He changed directions and headed for the house.
While our family was backpacking in the Bitterroots on the Idaho/Montana border we passed an area that had a recent game kill that was partially covered. We passed through the area quickly so as not to disturb the cougar thinking we were going for her food.

Scary. We hike single file with kids in the middle and dogs in front. Encounters are rare, but we always have pepper spray and sometimes a firearm in the field.

We recently had a cougar hit by a car about two miles from my house here on the Connecticut shoreline. They say it walked all the way here from South Dakota.

How can they be absolutely sure that it didn't take the bus?

It would be nice to have some here in Ohio to help the hunters thin out the deer herd.

At first, it was assumed to be someone's escaped pet cougar, but I guess they had been tracking it over the course of two years.
Here is more info.
