Must be a slow news day! :geek:

This is too funny. So lets just suppose they DO find this mountain lion. Then what??? Are they going to shoot it??? I dont understand this big search mission they are conducting.

They've definitely been moving east. All the agencies claim their extinct and its not true, but I have a friend down in tennessee that has 2 that roam her property. Bear are becoming a problem due to lack of hunts, and its only a matter of time before feral hogs make their way up to us. Over development and thus lack of food just forces their instincts to look for new homes and hunting grounds.

 

But at least their searching. Most states on the east coast just flat out deny it thinking that ignoring it will not hold them liable if they start attacking humans like they do in the west. But then again, multiple deaths hasn't sped up the need for consistent bear hunts either.

This has been going on for about a week already. The part they didn't put on the news was the semi-massive search for this thing on Monday evening that turned out to be a fox.

On Q104 this morning, they were saying that Shelly on the program was the "cougar"... She loved that. Interesting article

maybe I need to keep a bigger gun in the office. =P

 

the current office is backing woods, so going out in the parking lot late at night... sometimes a scary experience.

Max is afraid of the dark..

 

you will just have to park closer to the door and away from the dumpster..

The big cats are indeed moving this way but doubt they made it to the Garden state.

animal control officer LOL !! Usually some big heavyset person incapable of fighting off a pigeon. I'm sure they were looking real hard from behind the wheel of a car and big mac !!!

Probably someones pet...much like the 3 texas long-horn steer that escaped from a farm in Colts Neck and were shot dead in Marlboro several weeks ago.

I run early in the AM (0500), I see and hear all kinds of things, but am most afraid of the skunks! There's two that have woke up the last week or so, on my usual route, they skittered off as I came up on them. Would hate to have to limp home and stand outside while the wife buys out the tomato juice section at Shoprite.

Did someone think they were mountain lions??

Certainly not, but there are some similarities, IE; not native to this area, big search that included helicopters, media coverage, occurred in the same town, etc. That is why I brought it up.

The hunt continues...Marlboro PD just got a call from a homeowner that saw the mountain lion in her yard, and run behind their barn, "lightening fast" . . .

 

PD units are en route.

Second call just came in from a driver that stated he saw the kitty cat crossing Tennent Road. PD is on location with a thermal imaging camera.

Couple of summers ago, everyone was up in arms about the Coyotes in Middletown. Detractors pooh-poohed it until it was actually PROVEN that it really WAS Yotes' causing the problem. People will claim that whatever this animal is, it's anything BUT a Large cat.... But then again, Who'd ever heard of tigers running around loose in this area...until a couple escaped down in Jackson from the "Tiger Lady". Yes it COULD be an animal migrating into a new habitat...OTOH it COULD also be someone who had their pet cougar slip out of the yard.

Ok..... So Springfield XD 45 it is going to the office tomorrow. got some 185gr JHP's loaded up. Its kitty time.

 

(my office is in marlboro... and yes... backing to the woods)

ok.... I think I need to clean the mosin and keep a bayo near by.... wait no... I need a Mosin M44 with a bayo attached or an SKS.

The Coyotes in Middletown came from Earle, who crossbread them with Wolves to cull the Base deer population. Anyone who use to drive rt 33 knows the fence line on Earle could not keep a truck in or out no less a coyote. And having worked on the Leonardo side of Earle, there are plenty of places to get out.

As for Cats, they are here. They are normally very stealthy and do not bother full size people. If you ever hear one you wiill never forget the growl. I know a few people who have seen a big cat in Jackson off of 527.

Buckshot and slugs...

Here we go yet again....caller from xxx taylors mills road sees a 'large wild cat' in her backyard. About half a dozen PD units are responding. Dispatch told the caller to take a photograph of it. LoL

I bet you it is probably a fat overfed cat.

 

Any updates on this?

 

With all of the calls, dont they have any confirmed pictures?

Cats have been seen here in Bamber Lake NJ. Coyotes will track a deer hunter also.

By the time the lady went to get her camera, the kitty was gone. No confirmed pics as of yet. . . I guess no one thinks about it for whatever reason. As per the officers, she did describe what could possibly be a mountain lion. All they did was notify fish and game after a brief search of the area.

Years ago my friends and I used to hang out with our trucks / quads in Bamber. Lacey materials, the wash-out, parkers pit, georges etc. . . we would hear ALL KINDS of crazy animals howling and crying. Scary stuff.
