The cougar recently featured here that passed through Minnesota has apparently continued on his Eastward bound journey and crossed into Dunn County, Wisconsin where its picture was taken. by a trail camera.
It's likely the same animal from Minnesota because since the Minnesota cougar made its appearance its progress Eastward has been tracked by following its tracks in the snow and a string of sightings both with evidence such as tracts and without that have led it to its current location in Wisconsin.
The cougar has moved at a fairly consistent travel rate of 5-7 miles eastward each day. They have even discovered a small buck fawn that it had killed, partially eaten and then covered. The next day it was apparent that the cougar had returned and fed again that night.
A farmer in Spring Valley saw a cougar and found its tracks which have been confirmed. Hair samples from the site were collected for testing. Those results will take a couple of weeks or more to get back from the lab. This will likely confirm that the cougar is from the population of western cougars and not a former captive South American cougar.
