Trytan,
That wasn't an attack.......it was an OMG you may have had a Mt. Lion in your hands and didn't personally hand it to someone.[:-][:-][:-]
Not an attack at all......I didn't say I didn't believe you only that if you are offering it as proof you need to have it documented for the state to see.
I'm actually dissapointed that you possibly could have had the hard evidence that I've been waiting to hear and see but left it by the side of the rd. Bummer that's all.
The point I guess I was trying to make is the possibility that it COULD be some degree of wild big cat and like Doug said a Mt. Lion isn't something you see lying on the road everyday. That would be news even if it was a confirmed escapee.

Barnes,
Yeah the sailfish in the Delawareis probably a better analogy but I couldn't think of a parallel off the top of my head. Either way that sailfish would be a pretty darn big story in it's own right and is a good comparison.
(You have to admit the tone of a lot of the Mt. Lion reports resemble Bigfoot though)

DISCLAIMER: Not attacking, and certainly not offended......I'm hoping (I think?) to see one hop in front of my truck someday until then I keep wanting to actually see an actual official confirmation that they exist.
I'm not against the idea, the case for such is just not presented very well.
