DAVID BARON, CALL YOUR OFFICE: Another cougar sighted in Middle Tennessee.

Cougars are back in Tennessee, and wildlife officials believe they are here to stay.

There have been seven confirmed sightings of the big cat in Middle and West Tennessee since September 2015. The most recent was earlier this month on a trail camera in Humphrey County, the site of four other recent sightings. None have been confirmed in East Tennessee.

They will be.
