RE: Moutain Lion in Western NY?
I as a Pa. resident have heard many stories about lion sightings also. I never seen any or heard stories from close friends who have encountered any. One of my best friend is to my beliefs is one of the best trappers in Pa. We talked about it once and he spends more time in the outdoors than anyone I know.He has never came across any tracks at all of lions.Believe me he is always looking for signs of critters to trap. I am not saying they are nothere or they are here I am just opened minded to the subject.
But I would have to say if there was any here or in NY the trappers would know of this. I for one if was a trapper and seen signs of one.I would try to catch it in a trap to prove it. I believe this would be the only way to confirm it.I don't think one would get in trouble if accidently caught one in a foot trap. But I don't see it happening in the near future. LOL I usually say that and it does happen though. LOL
