People on the North Shore have reported some sightings of cougars, also known as mountain lions. Sightings are rare, but seem to be trending upward in recent years.
Recently a cougar was spotted in a field, and Dodge County Sheriff's Department posted on Facebook a warning to stay away from the animals and what to do if you encounter one.
This time of year brings a unique opportunity to Northlanders to see what exactly is out in those great woods of ours. Hunters have their trail cameras set up to spot game that could be in the area, but sometimes they spot more than they bargained for. For example, there have been 2 cougars (mountain lions) spotted in Northern Wisconsin recently.
