Very. Most people on the board know what I do for a living. I was working the king/nobleton zone. It was a warm night. Mid July/August I believe. Anyway this was back around 2008/9 when there wasn't much built up around keele st south of the go lot.

 

It was 3 am and i was northbound on keele north of king-Vaughn rd and I saw this - what I thought was a huge dog - run in front of me but I thought it was odd because it had a tail like a cougar.

 

I then stopped at the lights at king and keele and a woman pulls up beside me and yells at me " excuse me sir, did you see that lion rub across the road in front of you?"

 

So it didn't click in what I just saw at that second because I was tired so a few minutes later I come back to the area that I saw the cougar and look for prints, well wouldn't you know I did a paw print in some mud at the side of the road.

I was fortunate enough to have one jump in front of me on a trail while Grouse hunting in '75 or '76. Something I'll never forget.
