There are a few around. Nobody can deny that.
Sorry livbucks but MOST people deny it, the PGC denies it and their is no agency or reputable source you can findthat will tell you they are around. All there is is unverifiable stories.
When I was a kid, me and my brother saw a bobcat. Everyone told us that they were not in PA and we were seeing things.
Whoever told you they were'nt there were full of crap. Bobcats have always been in P.A. The PGC will tell you that. So will just about any information you look up about them in any library.
Sorry to you. To say there are none in PA would be testifying that YOU know that there are none. How can you be so sure? Have you covered every inch of PA? There have been documented cases of them. They have been on the news, casts made, etc. They can and do travel many hundreds of miles. Are you saying that when they get to the Pa border they turn around and go home?
Are there reproducing numbers? I would say probably not....yet.
