Lowell, Michigan- Cougar Report (zip: 49331)
1st contact:
"My husband and myself saw what we believe to be a cougar running through the field chasing a deer. It almost looked like we were watching a wildlife show with the cougar chasing it's prey. We were on the opposite side of the river sitting along the bank, we both looked at each other and said ' do you see that? ' My husband is a hunter and fisherman and knows what different animals look like when they are running. This is one that for sure looked like a large cat hunting. The animal we saw was on Grand River Drive and Montcalm area. We saw this animal last summer but really did not know who to report it to. After reading in the Lowell Buyer's Guide this week of a cougar on M21 and Parnell we thought this might be the same one we saw last year. "
2nd contact:
"It was towards evening. The field is along the Grand River . The zip is 49331. We told people but they did not seem to believe us. There was an article in the Buyer's Guide this week which reads: Warning- Cougar attack on M21 & Parnell. Mulitple sightings of this animal have been made in this area. Protect your livestock and small children. If sighted call DNR-1-800-292-7800. I know the DNR is probably just writing this off. I am curious, has anyone reported any sightings in this area to you ?
