Actually the most recent updates to this story in theh Courier Post are that the police and DNR have not seen anything indicating it was a cougar, that includes baits put out and not hit, trail cams put out and not tripped, and dogs who found no scent. turns out it prolly wasn't a cougar after all, which makes senseto those of us that know the area.

Bionic, it is funny that the cop on the video is saying that he saw a cougar, long tail and all. Now new reports say that he didn't see. I wonder if he got a visit from the men in black and had to look in to the flashy thing????? ;0)

Greek, I am not saying that it was or wasn't a cougar, I am just poking fun at the conflicting stories. I have no idea what the woods are like there where this took place. I do however know very well the actions of cougars and how elusive they can be. Sure the girl could have very well seen the cat. I am not doubting that either. I find it weird that the cat stayed around long enough for a phone call to be placed, the cops to respond and then walk into the woods to still spot the cat. I wish they would stick around that long here, I would get a chance to shoot another one.

Loose from the Red Bank Nation Park! THis area does not seem like the habitat for mountain lion. Althougn a Moose was seen this weekend in the Downtown Manchester, NH in the parking garge of a downtown hotel - and how he made it there is beyond me - totally urban for miles around.

What happened to them casts they made on the deer trail of the cat???That isn't evidence or did it turn out to be a deer with deformed deer hoofs that looked like cat tracks????

The state got involved and well......I'll leave it at that. I pulled my cams out. IMO I beleive it was a pet and let loose.

Jerry, of cours I don't believe everything the press reports. I also know enough to know there are no wild cougars in NJ. I wouldn't be suprised it was a released / escaped pet, but you got guys from PA using this case as an example that there are so many in PA now they are spilling over to NJ!
