AJ, you missed the point. That being that in such a populated state with so many roads and routine access by people to even the remotest areas it is unlikely wild cougars could continue undetected or prooved to exist. Cougars leave tracks, skat and other evidence. Tracks cross roads and peoples properties and with so many people and so many roads if there were indeed cougars in the wild in PA somebody somehwere would have discovered some evidence that could be confirmed by the PGC or some other reliable source. But it just doesn't happen. Wonder why? All that ever happens is just like the story vital shooter just posted. When there is evidence it turns out not to be a lion. THere are dozens and dozens of these unsubstantiated "reports". How many times does the boy have to cry wolf before he looses all credibility? As far as I'm concerned it was lost years ago.
