Took an interest in eastern cougar issues about 2 yrs ago when I  heard first-hand accounts of incidences in this area (north AL near TN state line) by two separate individuals  within a short period of time, very near our home. Started making inquiries of local farmers/hunters, etc..just out of interest (got. Didn't join any group after a Florida preservation group failed to respond to my inquiry (smile). Anyway, I wanted to alert interested persons to an incident in my area which was reported on the local news tonight, regarding a large cat attack.  If you search WAFF news, Huntsville AL, you should see the link to the newscast, referenced as a Marshall County man attacked by large wild cat. They do interview the man, who sustained injuries. The newscast also showed an area photo of a large cat taken about four years ago. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this.  I do plan on joining the organization, but actually I am quite ill tonight...just wanted to get this newscast into out while it was fresh.
