I know they can roam far.

Bingo! :beer:

Mountain lion killed in Conn. had walked from S. Dakota
DNA tests show that a 140-pound mountain lion killed last month on a Connecticut highway had walked more than 1,500 miles east from the Black Hills of South Dakota., state officials said today. The epic journey was the longest ever recorded for a mountain lion. ***

I heard he was tired of the s. Dakota Winter and was scoping out mountains for a season pass this winter...


that is a long way to go without being killed or seen by too many people. I wonder how long he walked? months, years????

He heard about the epic seeded moguls in CT and had to break for it.

What I heard is that the mountain lion was sick of the cr@p pizza in South Dakota, didn't care for the Chicago Deep dish style either (too much residual sauce on the facial fur) and was headed for New Haven, CT to weigh in on the age old debate of Pepe's vs. Sally's! ;) :lol:
