What moves at Night

Well not a fishing report but what I seen and heard at quarter tell one in the morning last Friday the 22nd up here at Wolcott. Just to see if any one else has come across one or other reports. I have no proof of pics and I looked the next day for tracks but the sand was to hard and we got a little bit of rain. I did find a spot at the fence of a track indention but could not make any thing out clear. Been turning my Healers loose at night, that morning one was whining like crazy and the other light barking on the deck. I looked out the window the direction of the one barking and just outside of the light range. I could see the image of some thing that looked about 2ft tall with a long body and tail. Was thinking what the heck is that. When I cracked open the door and one of my dogs ran across my deck to the end of the ramp and gave a bark. Then what ever it was went down to the ground and I heard a growl like from a pissed off cat. Both dogs turned and started yipping and ran in through the cracked door I had open. I went back in to try to find a flash light but by the time I found one what ever it was outside was gone. In my mind I'm thinking it was a mountain lion/ cougar what ever you call them. I called a buddy down in Seymour and told him, thinking he might think I was nuts. But he told me of a story down their last week a guy got pics of two cougar on camera. He said he called the DNR after he was having animals turn up dead, they trapped one and relocated it. So who knows for sure stuff moving in from other parts or DNR turning things loose to repop things.

Certainly some mean looking critter sulking around in the night. Smart dogs. I would want to be inside also

While working second shift I was driving home when I got close to the lake the road gets curvy and had a 15 foot rock and dirt wall on one side and the lake on the other. As I started into the curve at the edge of the headlights I see a gold flash as something lands at the side of the road. It turns a leaps back up they wall and disappears. Pretty sure it was a mountain lion just by the way it moved. When the Shepherd was a pup I took her out when I eould get home after midnight. She is pretty fearless. That night she was losing it barking and trying to drag me back to the house bumping into my legs and trying to push me back in that direction. I scanned the woods with a flashlight
( dead of winter all the leaves were down) saw a set of eyes moving horizontally . Had no up or down movement like something was walking. Like a cat stalking. Never saw it again, but I was certainly prepared if it decided it wanted to step out of the woods

It is only the illusion of being at the top of the food chain. Take away the tools and we are pretty fragile.

We have both mountain lions and cougars here in Ohio. My wife and I saw one off US 35 near Gallipolis, Ohio last year.

I always thought mountain lions and cougars were the same thing.

Whatever they call them I have no desire to tangle with one.
