It's that time of year when hunters are going out in the woods and checking their trail cameras. Usually every year at least a few cougar sightings are reported in the state.
People on the North Shore have reported some sightings of cougars, also known as mountain lions. Sightings are rare, but seem to be trending upward in recent years.
Kyle Burgess was hiking in Utah when a cougar began chasing and stalking him for almost 10 whole minutes. Burgess had to walk backwards nearly the entire time before he was able to scare the animal away with a rock.
