I too was thinking that you don't have to look too hard for a cougar in Grimesland

Red wolf, coyote or bob cat. You can only pick one and it must be one of these 3. There are no mountain lions, pumas or cougars in Eastern Carolina.

I will take the "under" on that one.

I disagree.... Come to New Bern... there are PLENTY of Cougars here!

I knew a guy in Columbus county that had a cougar and a black panther roaming his farm a few years ago, so it's probably true, and yes I'm only talking about the animals.

Maybe the mountain lions are hot on the trail of the 500 pound wild pigs that inhabit the woods of Eastern NC -- that's a lot of pig meat for the cats...

Hunter bags 500-pound boar you have to see to believe
