A 160 lb cougar was treed near Hayward a week or two ago and there are pictures in the paper. They are out there for sure!
a week and a half ago we were coming back from riding and a mile or two south of watersmeet some guy had just hit one .it was laying in the ditch and the guy said the same thing that there were two and he was only able to get one .not as big as this one but healthy .i would think the deer in the area not so much .
my son seen one by our house plus i've seen them on a few game cameras

I thought the cougars mainly stayed around the Hurley area......

I have'nt saw one yet but i know friends that have. There are always some kind of notice of dogs and cats missing at the grocery store or other places around Ironwood and makes you think that these things could be taking small pets as food.

It was south of Watersmeet by the snowmobile crossing
People just need to remember their out there
I'm a forager of berries and mushrooms and never had a sighting but I am always aware they are out there, so I stay alert. Also I am a very very noisy forager

When I was 5 years old I was riding on the back of the sled behind my mom and my dad was leading. We were in Dale, WI and saw an entire pack of them, we stopped to watch them, and all of a sudden they stopped and stared at us. Needless to say we got the heck out of there!
So you must use US 2 to travel between Hurley and Ironwood........not Silver St....

Glad to hear that thanks goofy600! I had hoped it would be on display somewhere in Watersmeet

What is funny as far as the denial by LEO that these animals are around is that I came across a warden yesterday from Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission in Odanah WI and when asked about this particular wolf incident near Watersmeet, he replied that "thats not a real incident and that particular picture was a hoax and had been posted several times over the last few years in more than a few states".
Why the denial of an obvious "real" picture or story?

It's real. I received the photo from the original post in email form straight from the source, thru several reliable sources. By the way, the photo is deceiving. The pooch is only 100lbs. While that is still a significant size, it is not HUGE by any means. The fine upstanding gentleman C.O. is just a tad on the shorter side of things. Here's another that makes it look not so big.
