I need to comment on a few things.

Many years ago, about 30, I also remember the PGC stating that there were no coyotes. They stated that all the reports that they investigated were wild dogs.

I even remember the farmers in Greene Co., where I hunt, complaining about the PGC not admitting that they were coyotes. They were having problems with sheep kills. There are lots of sheep in Greene Co., by the way. The PGC kept saying there were wild dogs killing the sheep, there were no coyotes.

The farmers got together and started offering a reward for anyone killing a coyote. Hunters started shooting them. It was about that time that the PGC quitscoffing atthe reports.

But yes, I do remember the PGC trying to say that there were no coyotes. I was just a kid then so maybe all the details aren't accurate but I do remember that my father and I wondered if there really were coyotes. We hunted that county and being young, I wanted to shoot one.

They use to have big banners hanging in Waynesburg offering a reward from some sheep farmer's group.

As for mountain lions, yes they are here. I don't know how, where they came from, but they are here. had a girl friend that saw one. She kept saying that it was Orange, as big as a deer and had a long tail the curled up in the air when it ran.

I'll agree that many bobcats are mistaken for ML's. Even on here there have been several bobcat photos that many said were ML's. They weren't. I was amazed at how many hunters couldn't tell the difference.So not all reports are legit.

Its just a matter of time before one is shot.
