        To be fair the post says “DNR says no cats in MN” which is not true. Their position is that they have no evidence of a breeding population of cats in MN. Which also doesn’t mean it’s not possible for a litter to be born in Minnesota. So…you know, put the pitchforks away… https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mammals/cougar/index.html

            I think it’s cool that we still have mountain lions in MN. I wish this one would not have been hit by a car.

              Nothing new. Although rare, sightings and cats like this hit by car have happened. One in Ely that I remember. How about those in the St. Croix river valley that were seen along with some in the county’s near there. I remember seeing footage of a m. lion in peoples yards. so they are not common but I personally think we have the big cats in this state although few. good luck.

                There were trail cam pics of one in lakeville just last year. They are around and I think more than people realize. Always seems to be sightings along the MN river south west of the cities too.

                  I picked one up on a game camera on our land in Polk County, WI a few years ago. A trapper had caught one near us a year or so before that.
                  Someone once said that you’ll hear a bear if it’s around/following you but you’ll never hear a Cougar. Probably more of them out than we realize if that’s true.

                    Big Kitties in MN are akin to voter fraud.

                    As long as you don’t look for any, then there are none.
