To say the mountain lion debate has worked its way into a frenzy is a major understatement. Recently, Mr. Cal DuBrock, Chief of the PGC’s Wildlife Bureau made a few interesting comments reported in a newspaper column. He stated that “this year, more than any I can remember, there has been an ungodly number of mountain lion sightings”. Apparently, the PGC is developing a new protocol for reporting and tracking mountain lion sightings. DCNR field folks apparently are major contributors to the growing number of encounters. Since I have been involved in this debate (12 years) the PGC has maintained there may be a few mountain lions running around PA. However, these would only be accidental or intentional releases of captive western mountain lions. No known breeding pairs exist in PA according to the PGC.


If you are listed on the permit you will be immune from any prosecution for the violation of killing a PA protected species.

How can something be protected if it does not exist???
