Cougar sightings are becoming more popular in the Duck and Porcupine Mountains in the last ten years. Thanks to technology and the use of trail cameras, the evidence is now more apparent. An avid hunter from The Pas recently caught footage of a cougar on his trail camera near the Porcupine Mountains.
“I have my cameras set up in the Porcupine Mountains, north of Bowsman,” said Jeremie Gregoire. “It’s a hunting spot that I have access to. This is the second cougar I have seen on my trail camera. The first one was from about five years ago, but I couldn’t make it out 100 percent to make sure, but this one is much clearer. The first spotting was about five miles from where this camera was set up.
