My wife saw a BIG cat come out of the brush behind my shop about three weeks ago and snag a squirrel. I took her online, but she couldn't really ID the thing. Today at about the same time of morning, she saw a huge cat come out of the same area and run about 50yds across our yard and snag another squirrel. This time she had plenty of time to ID it and said that it was a cougar. She said that it was about 2ft high or so and at least 6ft long. She said that if the cat was standing on it's back legs that it's head would easily be at my neck or face level (I am 6ft). Called the game warden and he made a report, couldn't find no tracks etc... We do have a brush line around our house, but it is only about 20yds thick and we live in a community. We are about a mile or so (in a straight line) from the state park, but it is weird that the cats are venturing out this far to hunt... Game warden said there wasn't much they could do, I am not sure what I am going to do... Don't want to really shoot it, might try to catch it somehow... My wife said that there was a eerie moment when the cat was running back to the brush line that it stopped and slowly looked back at her with the squirrel in it's mouth, she said that it stared at her for about 5 seconds before walking back into the brush.
