Gee, the cougars in other parts of the country, with much more severe weather don't go south.........
Seems they are different in Lycoming County. Bet that would be a good spot to check the "middle of dirt roads" for tracks now that there is snow on. Should be tons of them since reportings are so hot there. I wonder how many of those reporting cougars are out there looking for tracks.....

And are you saying that cougar pets released have different tails than wild cougars?

And the farmer saw a cougar in a freshly plowed field -- how about tracks? Or didn't the cougar step into the plowed part? Maybe they don't like stepping onloose dirt or snow -- yes, that is tongue-in-cheek.
