I would say just shoot one if you seen it. If I seen a ML while hunting,I am not taking a chance with him being the, ITis as much as scared of you as you are of IT. No way hozay. I am going to do a pre empitive strike on his a$$ to prevent that WMD from happening.
WMD= Wild Mountainlion Destruction
most of sighting i hear are almost all near or on dirt roads and almost all are in summer..dont ask me why, i dont know...



what i cant understand is why no tracks are found in snow,at least to my knowledge locally..
only reason i can say is they are not here in winter,question is, where do they go?
or could 1 or 2 cougars be moving constantly from state to state?
some said range is 500 miles..i dont know....

i do know this almost all sighting are from summer to archery season,then they stop reporting..

most of sighting are in most wilderness areas we have but some are not..
in summer sighting are in the wilderness areas,in winter most are near homes in rural areas...

so, cougars could be moving to food, if deer and game move. maybe they do also, i dont know....
Cougar tracks would be hard to find any time of the year really. You have to consider that they are not an abuntant as other wildlife species.So you are not going to have much evidence on them no matter what time of year. Cougars have a very large territory range. Larger than any species of mammal in PA. I don't think they will confine themselves to a 25 mile area even if the food is abundant. A female who just gave birth would do so though because the cubs are to small to follow long distances. There could be a chance that repeated sightings of a cougar in one area over several weeks or a month could be a mother that has cubs. When they are strong enough they will follow her on range and the sightings would drop. This could be one possibillity.
