BOBCAT





	BOBCAT / MOUNTAIN LION / PUMA - Sightings NOT Confirmed (by the MDNR) Two different people have told me that they saw a what was either a “Puma or Mountain Lion” near “Houseman’s Grocery Store”. One person was an employee going to work at 4:00 am. She reported seeing it walking across the parking lot slowly in the dark. The other person reported seeing one across the street from “Houseman’s” on the East side of “37”. -Submitted 15 August 2007 ------------------------------------- Another Women told me that she and her husband were keeping an eye on a friends place on the Pier Marquette River . When they went to check on the place, he looked at the river and saw the BOBCAT lazily laying on a tree branch which hung over the river. He went back to get his wife so she could see it also, but neither one had a camera on them. -Submitted 15 August 2007 ------------------------------------
	The week of July 15th we were driving on Star Lake Road east of "Mels". We saw a large feline cross in front of our car. I would guess it was about 30-40-pounds. It was brownish gray. I am a city boy accountant and have no idea what it was but was very impressed by its graceful movement and size. Donald R Groenleer -Submitted 16 August 2007 -------------------------------------
	Harold saw a bobcat on August 27 around mid-afternoon on Canterbury Rd. The bobcat crossed the road right in front of his car - then reached the woods and turned and looked back at Harold - guess they both got a good look at each other. Harold also saw a bobcat (or maybe the same one) a week or so before that on Park *Pam Griffioen* -Submitted 22 September 2009 -------------------------------------------
	A neighbor of ours saw a cougar on Canterbury Road this past Summer on a Saturday evening. He watched him for several minutes just sitting along side of the road washing his paws, etc. He was positive it was a cougar because he immediately checked online for identification after returning to his cottage to make sure he had not mistaken it for a bobcat. *Pam Griffioen* -Submitted 22 September 2009 -------------------------------------------
