The short answer is.....yes. I know from experience there are cougars in Kansas. My wife and I saw one a few years back run across a dirt road in front of us just south of Eudora at about 9:30 at night. I had been told serveral times before that night that there was a cougar running around the area by some of my in-laws, but I never really believed them until I saw it for myself.
The Wichita Eagle published photos of a cougar that were taken by a deer hunter in Trego county, northwest WaKeeney on October 12 of this year. This is the first confirmed sighting in Kansas since 1904. There have been many reports submitted to KDWP, but no sightings that could be verified.
Now the only question is......Is it a wild cat or a pet that out grew it's owner? We will probably never know.
