I am pretty sure that if someone did happen to see a Mt. Lion and shot it they would be fined by the PGC. I am not possitive on this so if anyone could clarify I would appreciate it. Also as far as starving to death I don't think that would be the case. I have seen two Mt. Lions in Pa (no I don't have pics and I don't really give a rats a$$ ifanyone believes me) and both were over recent kills. The first was in Lycoming county between slate run and camal. The Lion ran off when we topped a hill so we went back to camp to get the others. When we returned we found a small doehanging fromthe bottom branches of a pine tree. The second was in Juniata county outside of Mifflintown. We saw the cat while spotting. He was laying at the edge of a field when we first saw him at which point he just slowly walked by at about 40 yards. There was deffinately no mistaking it. We went back the next day to look for tracks and found a decent 8 point half eaten with tracks all around it. In fact I cut the antlers off and use them to this day for rattling.
