Cougars get hit on the roads in Florida all the time... About 15% of the cougar population in Florida is road killed each year.
http://cougarrewilding.org/CougarNews/?p=1908 If there were even 100 cougars in all other eastern states combined, we should be seeing about 15 cougars road killed per year. We see 1 every 20 years. It's just simple math, we don't have a reproducing cougar population in the east other than in Florida.
