Now i will go into the woods, let my guard down. And BAM he jumps on top of me as im calling in a nice Gobbler. Going to get eaten by an "Extinct" animal, and no one will believe me.

LOL, what in the world will the Eastern Cougar Foundation do? Oh wait, they already changed their name. HAHAHAHAHA

I read about this in a different article.  These people have no doubt that cougars that were peoples pets are running wild but the eastern species itself is now extinct.

Hopefully this will put an end to the squabbling about the large house cat and escaped pet  sights.
