Looks like they are on the move back east:

Nat Geo



Fortunately, since they do not dump over corn feeders, the OB will live in harmony with them as they repopulate Louisiana. Heck, they might give us some help with the feral hogs.

I saw one dead on the side of I-49 last year on my way back from BR. Big cats, no joke.

per LDWF website:

Cougars in Louisiana are protected under state and federal law. Anyone convicted of killing a cougar in Louisiana could face civil restitution of up to $4,351 and federal citations with additional fines and penalties.

They are definitely back as well. My sister's brother-in-law met this guy from Canada who moved to New Llano before divorcing this chick who caught this picture of one on her cousin's property last night.

I don't know why but it absolutely blows my mind they've been sighted in Louisiana.

I don't believe that, I believe there are some outdoorsmen with bad eyesight.
