Since I continue to see the cougar mentioned in the newspaper, I decided to respond.

About 20 years ago I was leaving Natchez headed for the Natchez Trace early one morning.

Right outside of the populated area, a cougar ran in front of me.

I got a good look at it, and it had to be a cougar.

After looking at pictures and researching the cougar, I definitely determined that it was a cougar.

My thought was that it was just traveling though the country.
