Heck hasn't it been common knowledge that cougars are around indiana for a while? I've even heard the wild bore population is growing in indiana.. i hope so, that way I won't have to go so dang far to get my freezer full..ive read there is a bread of bore that is only on a island near (Alabama or Georgia i cant remmember) that feed almost stricktly on olive farms and that their fat starts melting at a really low temp and when slow smoked these wild bores have a sensational flavor and tenderness.. id love get one of thoseI'm shocked that they've finally admitted it! They still deny there are any cougars though.

Crap, they could have called me lol, my freezer could use some pork lolWild boars are definitely multiplying, the DNR killed 32 on the farm adjacent to mine.
Thanks. I just have seen it talked about here many times about people reporting them and even providing pretty clear pictures of the big cats to DNR but they seem loathe to confirm.
I think that's awesome in someways.. I love see wildlife thriving.. i dont want anyone to get hurt though.. i think bears and big cats are a couple of the most beautiful creations

If you conceal carry everywhere you don’t need to worry anyway
What about those that carry a .380? Seriously I would not feel comfortable with my normal carry caliber and bullet type if there was a chance of confronting a bear or big cat. I normally carry .45acp, 9mm and sometimes .357mag/38spl with hollow points. Put a large dangerous animal in the mix and I would want a .357mag minimum with hard cast lead. Just saying where my comfort zone lies. Jim.
Thumbs up on 357 mag.. probably my favorite handgun roundIf you carry a .380 you have bigger problems than a bear
Nah, there’s a video on YouTube of a guy killing a charging moose in Alaska with his glock 19. It takes a few shots of course, but part of carrying in my opinion means carrying something that’s gonna do the job, whatever that job may be. If I lived in Alaska and was out in the sticks I’d be carrying a 357 or 45. Living near the city, the animals I’ll encounter are likely carrying also, so I want more ammo instead of power.
Yeah no kidding. My in-laws were one of the first to report a bear sighting in Clark county near Borden few years ago. The CO which will remain nameless more or less called them a liar and said they just wanted to get on TV ! About two weeks later someone photographed probably the same bear about a mile from where they saw it. I personally knew the CO (since quit) and asked him to apologize for his response to them. Of course he never did.I'm shocked that they've finally admitted it! They still deny there are any cougars though.
