    This is something special for the area? We get sightings of them all the time in Sask.

    They were regularly spotted less than a minute from where I lived for almost 20 years. There was one row of empty houses separating us from an open field, across from our house was an empty lot. We have spotted deer, moose, and cougar tracks in the yard.

    We're a ways from the open wild. Cougars have to travel through a couple of municipalities to get to this municipality.

    The fact that it's been seen since June might suggest it's now a resident though.

    It probably just passed by going one way and came back again on the way back.

    Why did they shoot them tho, instead of numb them and take them to the other side of the island?

    A lot of people are asking that. We have to fly UVIC rabbits to Texas but we can't tranq and move a cougar?

    They like to come back to an area and once they lose their fear of people they never get it back. Likely killed it because it posed a risk to people.
