JUNEAU COUNTY, Wis. (WTAQ) - Another cougar has been confirmed in Wisconsin. This one attacked a dairy cow in the southern part of the state.
According to the state DNR, a turkey hunter saw the mountain lion try to pull the cow to the ground last weekend near Wonewoc in Juneau County. And the hunter fired shots into the air to try and scare the cougar away.
The cow was later euthanized due to the injuries. And DNR wardens are using motion-activated cameras on trails to see if the attacker is still around. Earlier this week, the DNR reaffirmed that it was developing new strategies to deal with the cougar population – which is said to be on the rise again.
