Ihave never discounted the possibility of a mountain lion or two being in this state.However,with all the reported sightings,you should have no trouble getting you dogs there in time to tree one.Go for it.You sound like your the proof everyone needs.Looking forward to seeing the pictures in the next couple of weeks.It's against the law to kill one but it's not against the law to let your dogs tree one so you can take a picture.

You must have missed the several pictures of proof that were posted on here the last couple of years.Every picture was obviously a bobcat but the debateraged on for days.
