gunwalkr, its no RUMOR.not being smart at you, but i too have only seen this 1 mountain lion in all years i was in woods.i can only tell you, i SAW one and people i talked to are seasoned hunters like us.we know what a bobcat looks like,trust me, when you see a cougar or lion ,it will be something that you never saw in your life here in pa. woods. i had friend that is a real good archery hunter. he was in his stand in archery this year. a BIG mountian lion came right under his treestand.I TRUST this person with my life. his reputationis best. what sticks in my mind to this day is how that mountain lion ran.i could see tail twisting as he ran but it looked like a MONKEY running. your ever see how those monkeys ,orange ones run. THAT is exactly how that lion looked to me, and he was really moving after he saw me at 15th ft .he also screached at me too when he turned his head and saw me. i hope no one makes fun at last part of my statement but i am only giving you TRUTH of what i saw from hunter that has been at this for a long time here in pa. take care.
