RE: mountain lions in NY??
Bill Yox - Red Bat - would have never guessed that one.
My brother and me found some tracks that look to be about the right size for a mt lion but, they were kind of washed out from some rain that we got. Kind of hard to tell for certain. They didn't have any noticeable claw marks though - So I am pretty sure they weren't from a dog and they're too big to be coyote tracks - if they were from a dog they woulg have to be a domestic and a big one. Still looking for more sign though.
Hey do Mt Lions leave scatching posts to mark thier territory like bear do. I know by my hunting cabin the black bears have a few trees that they just tear up everytime the come through. It is specific trees that they seem to return to though - just wondered if mt lions did anything like that -
