A Minnesota Man posted an awesome wild game cam pic saying...”So it looks like we have a cougar living on our property”

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has only confirmed 77 Wild Cougar sightings in the state since 2004.

But it looks like they may have to add one to that number.

Mantorville is a town of around 1,200 people located just west of Rochester in southern Minnesota.

A couple of the comments from the Facebook post were...

Mischa Michele: "Good grief looks like a freaking puma!"

Nancy Garvey Nesbit: "That dude has a long tail- that’s a cougar! And big!"

Cheryl Langevine: "What an absolute gift! They are very elusive but you will know they are there. They will mark their territory & it's a strong smell! Also if you actually get to see them in person, you will be one lucky guy. I've seen a mountain lion twice & I am honored to witness their majesty."
