BROWN COUNTY — The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is so far unable to confirm whether a mountain lion was responsible for an attack on a domestic cat on March 11.
Homeowner James Halcomb, however, is convinced of what he saw.
“It was the size of a small deer, but real thick,” Halcomb said.
“It was very large. It was well over 100 pounds. It was definitely not bobcat, definitely a mountain lion, without a doubt. I got close.”
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources said on March 12 that DNR staff searched the site and could not find evidence that a mountain lion was responsible for the attack. The DNR continues to study the incident.
