I would like to read the Jul 22, 2010 eastern cougar press release in full, can you give explicit directions to it? Have searched in vain on the USFWS web site, the most logical venue, and can find no other internet reference to it.

Finally after 4 years of supposily re-evaluation of cougar sightings across the east, the
USF&WS 2007 eastern cougar survey has been completed.
In a news release dated July 22nd, 2010....the report is one of continued denial of
wild cougars in the east...with such comments as:
"Cougars have been eliminated in most of their native habitat"...
"Only western cougars still live in large enough numbers to sustain a breeding population"....
"..generally presumes extinct in the wild, eatern cougars remain protected by the ESA"...
"...at one time, eastern cougars ranged from Michigan, southern Ontario, eastern Canada across Maine, to South Carolina & west thru Tenneessee"...
".....they lived (past tense noted) in every eastern state in a variety of habitats.......
these are just a few of the negative comments by the supposily "unbiased" final conclusion.
but in reality, the USF&WS urvey of 2007 is chocked FULL of negative comments on a continued presnce of wild cougars in the eastern U.S.
As we view this survey, ITS FULL OF USELESS BIAS SELF-DENYING RUBBISH, with the federal agency still in 100% denial mode as to present-day cougars roaming the eastern U.S.
We assume the EASTERN PUMA RESEARCH NETWORK will continue to be the major wildlife research group to continue receiving calls from eye-witnesses wanting to report big cat sightings in eastern North America.
Report your sightings to 304-749-7778 or epuma@hardynet.com & please visit our

EPRN will CONTINUE to take your calls.....

Isn't it ironic, back in the early 1960s, when beginning our in-field cougar studies, the very 1st case we investigated was along Ebenezer Road in the White Marsh Section of eastern Baltimore County, Maryland. 50 years ago the area was 75% woods & 25% old farms....
Today the area consists of the huge White Marsh Mall, 1,000 of townhouses and single homes, I-95 between Baltimore, MD & Wilmington, Delaware....only a very few farms, little woods & lots of humans.......and NO more big cat sightings.

I happen to live quite close to the Ebenezer Road cougar sightings which occurred in Brown county, Ohio last year.
I would guess it was about a month after I became aware of them, through our local newspaper, that I was walking down our country road in the afternoon.
This entire area is small farms that have now reverted back to scrub growth, heavily populated with deer - perfect cougar country.
So I was just a little on edge, walking down this road with miles of forest on either side.
I heard a vehicle coming up behind me on the road, very slowly, and assumed it was one of my neighbors preparing to stop.
However as the vehicle passed me, it turned out to be a very dark gray van, with a lot of antennas on top. My first thought was that it was a TV station van, following up on the cougar story. But as I looked more closely at the van, not more than 20 feet away from me in the opposite road lane, it had no markings of any kind on it. And the windows were so darkly tinted as to be opaque.
Being a very technically oriented person, with a B.A. degree in physics, I was trying to figure out what the antennas on this thing were for. They seemed to be similar to small satellite tv dishes, mixed in with longer wavelength "rod" antennas.
The van continued so slowly down the road, that I thought it was going to stop. Eventually it got to a bridge about 400 feet further, and sped up to a more normal speed, going on down the road from there.
To this day, I wish I had tried to get the license on this thing. But again I was concentrating on those antennas.
I can't say I was frightened by the thing, but I was uneasy about it, it was just acting too oddly, for no reason that I could discern or imagine.
It might have been a week after this that I read on the Ohio Mountain Lion Watch web site, that one of the people who lived next to the cougar sighting on Ebenezer Road that had been mentioned in my local paper, and whose family had an extremely frightening experience with TWO cougars there, had seen this van on Ebenezer Road.
She believed it was some "government" vehicle tracking the cougar.
I sincerely doubt that, would rather believe it was some artifact of human insanity or malice.
However -
What flashed into my mind when I read her account of this van, was the "men in black" phenomenon that sometimes accompanies UFO incidents.
I might add that while the Ebenezer road cougars seemed to be classic exemplars of this animal, there was one report of a "black panther" in this area during this period.
And I might also add parenthetically that this area is not that far from Serpent Mound, a locus for a lot of UFO sightings, and occasionally crop circles.
How often does the EPRN receive cougar sightings that are accompanied by reports of strange vehicles like the above?

I just wondering if anyone can recommend some good backlinks service. I just made my site and I need to get good rankings in google. What do you think which is best service for getting backlinks. I want to build many links and want to get it as cheap as possible. Thanks Jay.

As Canadian Newspapers are now saying & the EASTERN PUMA RESEARCH NETWORK has claimed with HARD FACTS, there is growing conviction, native wild cougars are NOT just heading east, THEY have already arrived & have been inhabiting the eastern National Forests of the United States for the last 50 or more years since the days of Bruce S. Wright., Professors Harold Hitchcock & Edwin Bell, Biologist-Anthropologist R. Pennington Smith and Wildlife Researchers Frank Weed, James Breathe, Gene Hill and E. N. Woodcock..
Thousands of eyewitnesses who have reported sightings of big cats known as cougar, puma, mountain lion & panther have finally been vindicated with the growing evidence of their CONTINUED presence in the national forests of eastern United States.
Increasing numbers of tracks & trail camera pictures submitted to the EASTERN PUMA RESEARCH NETWORK by the general public witnesses have been identified by the EPRNetwork's Professional Science Team since the 1980s.
That evidence from the Eastern Puma Research Network along with the 100s of scat samples submitted by the co-independent Michigan Wildlife Conservancy has been driving forces in proving the thousands of sightings by the general public were correct, when seeing the big cats roaming across states east of the Mississippi River.
With the general public now proven CORRECT in many areas of the east, critical skeptics which included mainstream wildlife scientists & federal wildlife officials are once again being shown their policies of "sitting on their hands in offices", just don't work....while the wildlife roams thru the eastern U.S. National Forests.
Long Live the WILD, NATIVE eastern Cougar and the sightings from the general public.
Keep sending your sightings, DVDs, Trail camera pictures & other evidence you have collected to the Eastern Puma Research Network at epuma@hardynet.com or www.easternpumaresearch.com or call 304-749-7778.

Mr Lutz, sir, you have led quite an interesting life, and I hope your memoirs are in the works. You will have at least one guaranteed reader here.
In a series of sightings around Andrews AFB in 2006, there were claimed to be two large cougar like cats involved, one tan and one black.
In the "Beast of Exmoor" section of Jerome Clark's 1993 book "Unexplained", he mentions that some English witnesses had seen large cougar like animals, tan and black, together,
From the database of cougar sightings submitted to the EPRN over the years, can it say what percentage of those sightings involved multiple animals seen by the same witness at the same time, and of those sightings, what percentage were of the "standard" colored cat in company with a "black" one?

Very regular do black or dark-window-tinted vehicles, with hard to read license plates, turn up near sightings of big cats, similar to the "Men in Black" who make frequent appearences at UFO scenes 3 - 4 decades ago.
Knowing what state & federal agencies do in covert operations, it would NOT surprise us in the least, if federal agencies were NOT somehow involved with many of the "released or escaped cougars" being reported or claimed by officials across the east.
Back in the mid-1970s, I was assigned the investigation of an "alleged" UFO along the Western Maryland Railway between Thrumont & Lantz, in northern Fredrick Co, Maryland.
At the time, a professional EHV Line consultant George Maugans Sr accompanied me on the investigation. While walking the tracks with a hand-held Civil Defense Geiger Counter, the last thing I thought of meeting was a U.S. Army Lieut, .in high-heels, carrying a U.S. Government Geiger Counter.
Being startled by the lady's presence, I asked "what may I ask is a Army officer doing up here on the tracks"? To which she replied, "just out for a short hike testing new equipment".
My reply: "In high-heels??" Her reply: "yes, I'm more comfortable this way", .as she "continued on in a northbound direction".
We never saw her again......Camp David is about 7 miles as eagles fly from this 10-20....

Renewed mountain lion sightings has spooked the Upper Canaan Valley, Blackwater Falls State Park & towns of Canaan Heights, Douglas, Albert, Thomas & Davis Areas over last 6-10 days....these are NOT the only sightings being reported. Due to distance proximity, we plan to attend the Traditional Latin Mass at St. Thomas Catholic Church at 7:30AM on Sunday July 18th in Thomas, WV.....then after Mass, we will have breakfast at Blackwater Falls Lodge Restaurant....if interested come join us.

Thank you Victor for your report.
You might want to go on-line to "Cougars of the Valley" to give them your report also.
They have begun their own website & share sightings with the Eastern Puma Research Network which continues to be the major wildlife clearinghouse in the east to collect sightings of big cats who are roaming the eastern United States.
If you send your mailing address to epuma@hardynet.com, you will receive a copy of "What You Need To Know About Wild Cougars in the eastern U.S."

Hello,
My name is Viktor Voyevodin and I live in Ashaway Rhode Island, about 2 miles from the Connecticut border.
I often spend evenings on my second floor deck and my backyard is surrounded by 6? fence. Just about 9:00PM my German shepherd sprinted to the fence with loud barking and I pointed my flashlight in anticipating seeing a deer (my frequent guests). What I saw just astonished me. A large feline jumped from the bushes and run parallel with my fence. I cannot say that I saw a long tail, but the animal size was close to the button buck. I called DEM and reported sighting of a large bobcat, but I am sure that the animal was much bigger.
Best regards.

I still believe the military releases at least 1, perhaps 2 cougars on the base occasionally to control the whitetail deer herd which is quite extensive. When the herd is reduced some, the cat runs out of a good food source & either attempts to jump the 12 foot high fence surrounding the base or the cat has found a hole big enough for it to exit the base, in search of better pickings.
Is the latest sightings on any specific side of the base?? Are there any wooded tracts or small streams in or near where the new sightings are being reported??
If a stream.....I wonder if it flows into the Patuxent River?? where recent sightings by a trained observer was reported along west side of Patuxent River, north of Benedict, Charles County.
Has any newspaper, radio or TV station picked up on the report??? Which one(s)???

Newest Andrews Air Force (MD) base sighting of a tan Mountain Lion was 10pm last night (7/11). Now how in the world the MD DNR folks can continue to deny we have a breeding population of mountain lions is beyond me. Just exactly where do they think these mountain lions live? Maybe in PA and then they come here for social gatherings? LOL
When individuals report any of the cryptozoological mysteries such as BIG CATS, SASQUATCH (Creatures) or UFOs....we have found such witnesses in thousands of cases, will or have had similar incidents involving GHOSTS, attacks by other animals & all types of unusual phenomena......Contact Loren Coleman for his take on these situations.....
At least 25 cases come instantly to thought, that involved a 2nd mystery, when responsible witnesses were reporting the original event.
Most 2nd events, are of lesser interest, than the original or 1st one.....
In one, a high-ranking police officer picked up a transmission on his departmental car radio while on way to work & decided to handle the situation himself since he was only 2 blocks from the 10-20. It was 1 of several dozens similar calls...involving vandals in a cemetery.
The original officer was cancelled & in this 1 case, a major would handle the case.....thinking it was just kids playing around.....
When entering the cemetary during daylight hours in his car, there was NO-kids in sighti.
He drove around the 35 acre cemetery twice & found no evidence of vandals, so at the end of 1 drive, he tried backing up into a small opening, only to have his gas tank rub over the top of a flat tombstone....he got out, looked at the gravestone & saw some scrape marks upon it.
He then called the dispatcher to report the event & was told to make a 'incident report", rather than an 'accident report". He did so & began leaving the cemetary.
After reaching the gate entrance he pulled onto a highway & had driven about 200 yards, when he heard a woman's voice saying something in a 'strange language"......and the voice was coming from his back seat...where NO one was supposed to be....Slowing down & pulling off onto the shouder...he turned to find a woman sitting there in a flowing purple robe.
To make a long story short, he asked "for her name", then realize he could see the back of the seat thru her body....he got out of car & asked for backup units.....
She spoke in a strange tongue and vanished from the seat.....
By this time the veteran police official was quite upset......but as backup officers arrived, there was no one on, or anywhere near the back seat, nor under the car....
but the dispatcher had heard & recording tape of his transmission had picked up the woman's voice & comments....at that point, his commanders & dispatcher contacted this writer, since I was "on-call" to hundreds of law enforcement agencies to investigate specific calls from the late 1960s thru 2002.
After hearing his entire story.....we did much backtracking involving local funeral homes, the color of the lady's dress, the tombstone & her nationality....then the original officer, his commander & I went back to the cemetary & we stood & had a discussion at the tombstone with the 'lady"..
After many quiet comments & laying fresh red roses upon her grave.....we mournfully said a few prayers and quietly left the cemetery.
Since then, police officers who work the area, occasionally will take a few flowers & place them on that particular grave......when I return to Baltimore every year, I always take a 50 mile detour to leave a red rose on the lady's grave....just to let her know, I to, think about her to this day.
In the Prettyboy Watershed of Baltimore County, an resident reported a UFO off of
Tracy Store Road in 1974......no logical reason was found to blame it on a star or other night-time event. 3 years later, a 7-foot tall creature on several occassions to the 2 UFO witnesses & always pointed into the evening sky, where UFO had traveled in.
One 1 particular night, the family experinced difficulty in watching tv, with much snow....on going outside, they were surprised to see a "spinning blue object" sitting on ground & a large humanoid walking towards the light , climbing inside, which took off into the pitchback sky...
There are many other we could discuss.....your turn next??

By this time the veteran police official was quite upset......but as backup officers arrived, there was no one on, or anywhere near the back seat, nor under the car....
but the dispatcher had heard & recording tape of his transmission had picked up the woman's voice & comments....at that point, his commanders & dispatcher contacted this writer, since I was "on-call" to hundreds of law enforcement agencies to investigate specific calls from the late 1960s thru 2002.
After hearing his entire story.....we did much backtracking involving local funeral homes, the color of the lady's dress, the tombstone & her nationality....then the original officer, his commander & I went back to the cemetary & we stood & had a discussion at the tombstone with the 'lady"..
After many quiet comments & laying fresh red roses upon her grave.....we mournfully said a few prayers and quietly left the cemetery.
Since then, police officers who work the area, occasionally will take a few flowers & place them on that particular grave......when I return to Baltimore every year, I always take a 50 mile detour to leave a red rose on the lady's grave....just to let her know, I to, think about her to this day.
In the Prettyboy Watershed of Baltimore County, an resident reported a UFO off of
Tracy Store Road in 1974......no logical reason was found to blame it on a star or other night-time event. 3 years later, a 7-foot tall creature on several occassions to the 2 UFO witnesses & always pointed into the evening sky, where UFO had traveled in.
One 1 particular night, the family experinced difficulty in watching tv, with much snow....on going outside, they were surprised to see a "spinning blue object" sitting on ground & a large humanoid walking towards the light , climbing inside, which took off into the pitchback sky...
There are many other we could discuss.....your turn next??
Newest Andrews Air Force (MD) base sighting of a tan Mountain Lion was 10pm last night (7/11). Now how in the world the MD DNR folks can continue to deny we have a breeding population of mountain lions is beyond me. Just exactly where do they think these mountain lions live? Maybe in PA and then they come here for social gatherings? LOL

What's up Everyone, I am not brand-new to the site but I decided today was as good as time as any to say hiya, so.. well howdy 
The following links refer to a story told by a Wayne county WV lady, of an attack around midnight on July 26, 2003, on her and her daughter by an animal she believes was a cougar. The lady, seriously injured in the attack, believes that the same animal may have been responsible for another attack the next day on another local woman and her dog.

In trying to develop further information about this story, I was fascinated to turn up the following link
http://www.ufoinfo.com/sightings/usa/020800.shtml
in which this lady relates her seeing a ufo in September of 2002.
Has EPRN developed any information as to whether people who report cougar sightings to it, have also had other anomalous experiences such as UFO sightings, bigfoot encounters or sightings, precognitive experiences, etc?
Please note that this question is in no way intended to be dismissive or derogatory towards those who might have had these experiences. It truly is a universe stranger than we perhaps can realize.
In the numerous "black panther" sightings which you have collected over the years, do you see any similarities to the "black dog" phenomenon?

Big cat sightings continue to be reported across the east, with little decrease, despite the continued denials of their survival or existance in eastern North America.
Since beginning field studies as a weekend news-writer for WFBR-Radio News & doing some free-lancing news on my own in Baltimore during the mid-1960s, I have conducted 1,000s of field investigations on every tyrpe of strange phenomena. Folks, 47 years ago, I was told TRUTH is actually stranger than fiction, that is 100% true..
We have NOT only investigated big cat sightings since 1965, but also UFOs & the creature commonly known as SASQUATCH or BIGFOOT. They TOO, are real life-objects.
From the early 1960s thru late 1980s,, I had opportunities to know on a personal basis & undertake field investigations with Dr. J. Allen Hynek of Northwestern Univerisity, Dr. James McDonald of Universioty of Arizona, Majors Donald Keyhoe & Jim Hutton of NICAP, Canadian Rene' Dahinden & Prof. Grover Krantz of Washington State University, Ivan T. Sanderson & Dr. Ted Roth, . Each of the previously named individuals did I ever regret knowing or conducting field investigations with......They were the best of the BEST.

Based on views of multiple professional trackers, this picture is of a large domestic feline.
D, you correctly posted the link to your story, but attempting to use it gives an error message. To get to what you wanted to show, first go to
www.huntingpa.com
then click on message boards link then
forums list link
then
predator, varmint, and raccoon link
the link to the story you're referring to is about half way down the page
There are two pages of discussion about this, the second page has a much better picture (scanned?)
A long way around Robin Hood's barn, but it will get you there

Why has the U.S. Government made Evil and lies politically correct while TRUTH & FAITH has become a thing of the past???
Why has today's young people turned the good ole USA into a "ME FIRST" and to "HELL WITH THE REST" of the population mindset??
How many of those reading this commentary have been cut off by a young driver in traffic rushing to take the last parking spot from an elderly driver with handicapp plates???
How many people have recently had the occasion to see teenagers push past older folks to get into a restroom stall that says "handicapp only"???
Think of the # of your co-workers who lied on their work applications, claiming knowledge on data they totally lack.....get promoted to the higher paid & ranking position, then turn around and tell you to do their work???
There is a definite need to take this country back from the rabble-rousers & liars. We need to return to the honest, truth and foundation the USA was founded on centuries ago....amd return to 1 fact...... IN GOD WE TRUST.....
