NY Bowhunter, ya right they are killing kids all over NYS. NY Bowhunter you did alot of yappen and cutting me down but you did'nt answer my question, give me a good reason why the DEC would release a mountain lion. The law says they would have to tell the public. Why would'nt they? Tell me. I will say yes, there may be a mountain lion in NYS, but I doubt it. I f there is the DEC did not release it.
