BARofsoap is correct. I have a neighbor that was awakened by his goats being attacked by a black bear 2 years ago. He shot the bear and wounded it. They called the DEC and the next day they set out to find the bear. While tracking the bear through snow they came across Mtn. Lion tracks. This is in the beginning of the catskills. They reintroduced them to control the coyote population but it is not working. They need to release more mtn lions to reduce the dang coyotes
