here's a link for anyone who has seen a mt.lion in NY.

just make sure that you are not reporting bobcats, housecats, golden retrievers, ect...
If you are not at least 95% sure of what you saw don't waste you time or the DEC's and try to find some concrete evidence as soon as possible after the sighting. Rain does alot to eliminate tracks in dirt and if at all possible snap a picture.

Just figured that if enough people that legitimately think they have seen a mt.lion report it and follow the proper steps after seeing it that some evidence might actually get documented.
