[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4158285, member: 1409"] Yes, that did seem to be what the Michigan "authorities" were thinking. Just saying I've heard nothing officially from Tennessee proclaiming the pic was altered, nor anything stating the pic wasn't taken near Kodak, TN. Maybe TWRA didn't think it was even worth taking a look at, but any [u]official lack of commentary has added to the mystique[/u]. In fact, if TWRA hadn't followed up on what appeared to be a cougar photo from Obion County just this past September, we'd probably still be going back & forth with comments about how that Obion County pic was likely photo shopped and/or taken in some other state. Just saying, someone produces a pic of what appears to be a cougar, and says he personally took that pic in TN, I would think TWRA should investigate his claims, and make their findings a matter of public information (as they have done recently with some trail cam pics in West & Middle TN). In the meantime, particularly over the past few years, I believe many legitimate cougar sightings have not been reported to TWRA simply because few wanted to be subject to their quickly downplaying it as most probably just a case of mistaken identity or a hoax. Considering this latest pic in question was widely circulated by the news media in East TN, it would seem prudent for TWRA to have some commentary about it on their "Cougar" page of the TWRA website. For those who haven't yet seen this recent creation, it's actually very nicely done and was long overdue: [url=http://www.tn.gov/twra/article/cougars-in-tennessee]http://www.tn.gov/twra/article/cougars-in-tennessee[/url] [/QUOTE]
