I personally do not know if there are any wild ranging mt lions in PA but I can tell you that our wonderfull PGC loves to cover up any real prove of any being let go or what not. Last yr I was driving to Ridgeway PA in Elk county and it was late and I saw what I thought was a deer dead laying on the road. So as I normally do when I see deer stay laying in the path of the road I stopped to drag it off the edge. I am not Mt lion expert and not claiming to be but what I dragged off that raod wasn't a bobcat and sure as heck wasn't a deer. It could sure of been someones pet that was either released or escaped I don't know but I called the PGC and told them where it was excatly even marked a branch with a glow eye and layed it ontop of the cat. The next day i was courous so I called the PGC again to ask if they found the owner of the cat and this is what I was told.

" It was a yearling deer and I shouldn't be making up lies about mt lions being in PA"

Now this makes me wonder about anything that the PGC got to say. I might not be a expert but I sure do know the diffrence between a yearling deer and a big cat. On the same lines I hunted Elk county in the same mts for close to 15 yrs and nobody in my cabin every seen/heard or even noticed coyotes before. Then about 1 yr all of a sudden every member of our cabin first day of archery we all seen them. PGC claims not to be putting them into the forest also but I have trouble beleiveing the packs grew so large and visibale in 1 yrs time without there help. As already stated I am no expert on this but I don't know. PGC wouldn't surprise me with anything they would do.
