mountain lions

It's easy to let your mind freak you out when you're in the woods at night. That's why I don't blame these Iowa hunters who got spooked out of the woods by what they thought was a mountain lion lurking in the trees above them. Instead, it was something much funnier.

Have mountain lions ever been spotted in northeast Missouri? Absolutely. There have been 3 confirmed sightings I have found including 2 that happened only a few years ago.

I believe there is a perception that mountain lion sightings in the Missouri are on the rise, but is that really the truth. I've looked at the actual data shared by the Missouri Department of Conservation and was truly surprised at what a difference a year makes.

Missouri has had quite a few mountain lion sightings in 2023 already, but most of them happen in the southern half of the state. Not so 23 years ago as one of these big cats really was spotted in Lewis County, Missouri.

If you're planning a weekend getaway to a lake in Illinois that's not far from St. Louis, you might want to know that there have been mountain lion sightings in the area.

There have been quite a few sightings of mountain lions lately in both Illinois and Missouri. There's a new video from an Illinois man that seems to show a potential mountain lion, but there's a problem.

You may be wondering why a mountain lion would see fit to hang around in one of the nation's flattest states (like I did). When the highest point in the entire state of Illinois is something like 12 feet above sea level (Charles Mound, Illinois's highest point, is actually 1,235 feet).

Someone might have spotted a "mountain lion" an hour outside of Rockford and now people are in full-on panic mode.

Another week, another series of mountain lion/cougar sightings has some Wisconsin residents just a bit uneasy.
