Ok at the risk of being ridiculed, I seen 2 cougar cubs playing on the bank of a KY lake about 5 years ago. Thought they were grown bobcats because of their markings til I seen the long tails. Even playing they were stealth and hardly made any noise. I watched from my boat for about 10 minutes. The wind shifted and they looked right at me,looked behind them in the brush and disappeared like ghosts. I guessed their momma called them to her. After I got home I checked the internet to see cougar cubs and found that cougar cubs are spotted much like bobcats til they are mature. The ridge they were on was covered in hickory trees so I figured they might be there hunting squirrels. I don't know what's killing livestock or even if the cougar are still around and I don't care what fish and game says, I know what i seen.

I don't blame anyone for not believing. Up until that day of my encounter, if someone told me they " seent a mountain lion" or "heard a panther" I figured them to be full of ****.

Bump for the latest from News Channel 5:

BREAKING NEWS: REPORTS OF ANOTHER ATTACK ON AN ANIMAL IN MONROE COUNTY, KENTUCKY.
Sheriff Dale Ford contacted me about another investigation.
He and his deputies are looking into injuries sustained by a large cow a few weeks ago at a farm in the Mudlick area.
The sheriff provided these photos of the now-healed injuries. It's hard to tell much from these images. The livestock owner describes the injuries as bite marks.
THIS, OF COURSE, is of interest to many in the area considering the fatal attack a few weeks back on three miniature horses.
The sheriff and others believe the attack on the horses to be the work of a large predator -- possibly a mountain lion. But Kentucky Fish and Wildlife experts determined the horses were NOT killed by a wild animal.
That debate continues.
Since then there have been reports of attacks on livestock.
SO, WHAT DECIDED TO CHEW ON THIS COW?
The sheriff tells me the livestock owner reported seeing and hearing what appeared to be a WOLF in the area in recent weeks.
A WOLF?!?!
Historically, Kentucky was home to two types of wolfs -- the gray wolf and the red wolf. But experts say neither species is found in the state anymore.
However, there was a case in 2013 where a hunter killed what turned out to be a gray wolf in Hart County, Kentucky.
HMMMM ... WHAT TO THINK?
The sheriff will continue to investigate.
And yes ... he still urges people to keep an eye on their pets and small children especially in rural areas.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Photos are on Facebook, but not all that much to look at.

When you start something 'I seen...' you immediately disqualify your credibility.

Good God people, nobody is asking for perfect grammar but this is elementary school stuff. Like...space bar, simple grammar, basic formatting ---> all simple things that get totally butchered.

Basically what I'm saying is you people need Rosetta Stone for English.

You should have put a question mark - not a period - at the end of your first sentence, as it was a question.

Did you understand his post? If so, enough said. This a message board, not English class.

I did a straight copy/paste of Beres’ facebook post..... which is admittedly embarrassing as far as formatting is concerned. But, I wasn’t gonna waste my time making it look nice.

Uhhh it can't be a Mt lion and a wolf. Might as well throw a tiger and elephant in there.

There have been sightings in the Somerset area. If you are familiar with the area, the intersection of 90, 914, and Murphy ave going into Ferguson. When you cross coming from Hwy 90 into Ferguson there are woods on the right side and acres and acres of tall brushy area on left. Many times I see deer go across around dusk to bed down as it has good cover for them. A mountain Loin/Cougar was spotted going across the road into that area and it was definitely one. No bobcat. golden retriever, chupacabra, etc. Might thoughts is if they do not bother or attack humans leave them be.

The KY lake area has had verified cougar sightings on the Tennessee portion of the lake. I believe you.

Calf was not only killed, but completely skinned. Unless the Mt lion has some skinning skills, appears the work of some methed out animal ritualist.
Someone in this thread said they skin them like a surgeon so this adds to the liklihood of mountain lions

I'll probably get in trouble for exposing this, but this is an actual photo taken a few winters ago in Northern KY.

This is UKRob 73 and one of his KY Game Warden cronies killing a mountain lion and then covering up the fact that it ever existed.

If you look really closely in the background, there appears to be a black Mt. Lion watching them. Many people think this proves that despite Rob and Big Government's attempts at snuffing them out, Mt. Lions are still thriving in the Bluegrass state.

I am not at all surprised at the recent evidence coming out of Madison County. They are here, people. Spread the word. Fight the cover up.
