Confirmed Cougar, photo by the Hiawatha Sportsman’s Club
It was just a few years ago that the Michigan DNR vehemently denied the presence of cougars in Michigan, but things have definitely changed. Regarding this photo taken November 1st by an automatic trail cam in the Hiawatha Sportsman’s Club (located near Engadine in the southern Upper Peninsula), the Club writes:
This photo was confirmed by the DNR on November 3rd. The location is the area of S-trail / A-trail, east towards the perimeter of HSC property.

They’ve always been here. Nothing has changed, except the DNR have been proven to be as full of it as we thought they were.

Actually, the DNR now has evidence about the presence of this species. Why would you want someone to verify presence of anything when there was no evidence of its presence?

Thrilled! With our huge deer population, it’s amazing to have a large predator out there.
