Actually, any fat or oil on paper or cardboard for a fire starter will do. I bag nut shells for the same thing.
Old used vegetable oil, olive oil, sardine oil left over in the can after main ingredient is used or spoils. My tractor supply dealer even uses old used engine oil in an oil furnace to heat the shop.
Let's just keep it clean/hot and not degenerate to burning garbage.
Aye,

It's so funny you say that...our DNR (dept of natural resourses) says we don't have them either but there are local websites where people post pics and videos of them out and about (clear pics/vids...not the old grainy UFO type stuff). I don't think they have cat management funds in their budget (hell, an off duty cop nailed one on the road a year or two ago and the DNR still won't have anything to do with them). They did come out last week with something interesting though...they are asking hunters/trappers that come across bear dens down state to mark them and notify the DNR so they can put a tracking collar on them. Apparently the fuzzy buggars are making their way way South.

Hey K, it's the timing is all. The thread has apparently inadvertently tapped into latent New Year's resolution anxiety, coupled with an early start on libational imbibing.
lol?

We call it the Galileo Syndrome i.e. the world is really the center of the universe---do not confuse us with facts. Our DNR Div of Fish and Wildlife will not recognise clear photos, or valid reports by loggers, law enforcement, foresters, hikers. The "cats" are here
in Maine.
It's fun to track them in snow. They are Darwinian smart since I can see that after an hour or so of tracking the kitty, he is really tracking me. But since I'm not (yet) a pre menopausal, slight woman, there is nothing to worry about.....I think. :red:
BTW: will a cougar/mountain lion/big kitty cat be attracted by bacon fat ? Any Wildlife Biologists on board with outdoor chops ?
