I live in Illinois about twenty five miles north of Chicago and about twenty miles south of the Wisconsin border. Two years ago over the winter there were periodic reports of people seeing a large "cat" that began in the western part of Wisconsin. There was speculation it may be a mountain lion but no one had a photo of it and only those who had seen it really believed it was a lion. About two months after the original sightings, a 185 pound male mountain lion was shot and killed by police in downtown Chicago.
Zoo officials examined the animal and concluded it was wild and most likely came from the Black Hills of South Dakota, over a thousand miles away. So, I believe there are probably wolves in New Hampshire. Why not?
