[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4157385, member: 1409"] When I posted that "wink and a nod" comment, I was actually thinking more in terms of an "appropriate" federal agency, such as, but not limited to, the park service, with TWRA possibly being kept totally in the dark regarding. Keep in mind anything is possible, and the rule of law seems to mean little [u]within[/u] some [u]federal[/u] bureaucracies. Also, if such might be happening, I would doubt if anyone other than the very top echelon within said bureaucracy would be aware. I agree it is premature to label some of the suspicious findings as "evidence". Let's just say it's extremely suspicious when a [i][u]FEMALE[/u][/i] cougar of Dakota origin (along with numerous males) suddenly appear en masse scattering across Tennessee, [u][i][b]WITHOUT[/b][/i] any increase in sightings in Illinois, Indiana, much less Kentucky[/u]. I agree that it may very well be a photo-shopped pic of a bobcat. But apparently, TWRA wasn't able to quickly conclude that to be the case. Still waiting to hear what the photo "experts" have to say. In the meantime, assuming it to be genuine, it would appear more as an older kitten than an adult cougar. [/QUOTE]
