It was "sleeping" on the right-side shoulder, NY Bound side of the Merrit Parkway in CT. Pretty big sucker. If I was alone, and the Shoulder was larger, I'd have stopped and grabbed him, seeing as he was quite no longer living. (because I'm kinda a nutcase and a Mountain Lion skeleton would be neat to have)

That's the kinda thing I DON't tell the wife. (she think's I'm nuts enough as it is)

I'm thinking they aren't too common around those parts...
I reported it here:

I think that would have been unwise for you, to handle and remove the dead mountain lion.

Rabies..?

We call then cougars out here (not to be mistaken with dangerous middle-aged women).

News story from last week. This occurred just a few miles from downtown Vancouver.

I'd love a taxidermy Puma...

Never pickup any animal on the side of the road and put it in your car.

Heh or like that one woman who hit what she thought was a large housecat, and tried taking it to the vet... but it was a bobcat and it attacked her...

Saw on the news a while back, someone put a dead deer they found by the road in the trunk of their car. I was only stunned and woke up trashing the rear end of the car before running away.

Why didn't you shoot the guy?
