On one of my backpacking trips I heard the distinctive scream of a wildcat in the early evening.  That night while I was in my hammock I woke up when something was walking quietly around my hammock.  I'm not sure if you know what I mean when I say I could feel its presence in the darkness, but that's exactly what it was like. It moved slowly and quietly, and I never saw what it was, but it was big enough to snap twigs under its feet.

I told people it was a cougar, but in hindsight I only made that leap because I heard the scream earlier.  Could have been a black bear.....or worst of all it could have been a human.

We have camera traps set up around our property. We catch a mountain lion (AKA cougar) two or three times a month. A lot of other animals as well.

Saw a juvenile cougar outside.  Pretty cool sight.  Neighbor reports a deer killed by cougar in his yard.
