I live in Bemidji, and yes, everyone is talking about this. I personally think it's a person. But the DNR also says that there are no cougars in MN. There are.

Yeah, my friend in northern MN has llamas to guard her goat and ducks from roaming neighbor's dogs. Works too, when I was out at the ranch ysterday, the llamas in the front field started to move toward the dogs, which alerted us to the dogs presence.
