There was one confirmed in Southern Indiana about a month ago. Though there is a lot of buzz where I am in the Kosciusko County area of people supposedly seeing one.
Wouldn't surprise me. I'm in Fulton county. Rumors of sightings are floating around here as well.
Southern Kosciusko county checking in. I don't think any have been sighted down here to date, but I don't think anyone is actively looking for them yet.
Off topic, but I never thought I'd see InkFreeNews linked on reddit. Holy ads. They are in desperate need of a good proofreadin' too. It's free at least, unlike Times Union Online.
I wish Times Union would go free with online and update their format. Inkfree is just a rebranding of Stacy Page, whose founder practically got a man killed.
Ugh, I know. That whole thing was a disgusting display of a complete lack of ethics in journalism. I mean, Page resigned and all, but they're still run by ambulance chasers with terrible grammar and worse spelling. It's a glorified blog.
And I know they're ad supported and all, but good lord, it's covered in ads to the point that scrolling is slow. 6.8 MB in 30 seconds for a page load on a modern machine with fast internet is terrible. Adblock and NoScript cut it down to 2 MB and 3 seconds.
As for Times Union, I wrote a Tampermonkey script awhile back that took advantage of print.asp (which doesn't require a session) to show articles, but it disappeared after I upgraded to Windows 10. So until I rewrite it, I'm stuck w/ InkFree :/
We've seen one, along with tracks just south of Pierceton.
We didn't see what it was for sure, but a few years ago one of our calves was killed in Jefferson county and partially eaten by something with claws. Aliens seemed as likely as a big cat so we thought dogs. Maybe cats weren't so unlikely as we thought.
My grandma lives up in Cass County and always told me she saw one when working in her flower bed. Grandpa always said the DNR released mountain lions to control the deer population.

Cass County resident here....that was actually an '89 Mercury Cougar that was released to control the deer population. It was unfortunately totaled during it's first population control attempt.
I have friends who hunt that swear they've seen them.
Pretty sure I saw one in either Tippecanoe or White county within the past year and a half.
I heard one once a hour and a half north of Indy.
I swear I saw one in 2006 near Brown County
