From the Wisconsin DNR: A photograph of a cougar, taken five days ago in Juneau County, has been verified as legitimate by two wildlife biologists with the state Department of Natural Resources.  The photograph, taken at 9:21 p.m. Sunday, clearly shows a young adult cougar moving against a nighttime background of native grasses. The camera was located a bit more than two miles north of Mauston.  Two DNR biologists – Adrian Wydeven and Jon Robaidek – visited the site today, interviewed the landowner, checked other photos in sequence on the camera and checked the background in the photograph against the actual location. “It’s obviously a cougar,” Wydeven said of the large, tawny cat in the photograph. “It’s good sized, most likely a young adult.”
