Researchers with the Voyageurs Wolf Project made a historic finding this spring on a different species of large carnivore – they captured the first modern-era evidence of cougar reproduction in Minnesota. As part of its study on white-tailed deer survival and mortality in northern Minnesota, on March 25, 2026 VWP staff placed trail cameras near a deer that had recently been killed and covered with leaves. The “caching” behavior is common among large wildcats, which come back to feed at the site. The researchers were able to find the deer carcass via signals from a GPS collar they placed on the animal in January. The researchers suspected the kill was made by a bobcat, the most common large feline in the region, but also knew there was a chance it was from a cougar, said Thomas Gable, VWP leader. To find out VWP staff placed two trail cameras at the site.
