steve, what is funny, the dcnr people i talk to HAVE seen COUGAR but PGC people never do....
doesnt that sound a little strange?
What would be strange is thinking the the 100's of people that are or have worked for the PGC would be in on a conspiracy as complete as you think.
And why can't you get a posse of your "born hunting crew" to get proof.
That should be good for another 10 pgs.

first, the HUNTERS i grew up with areobeying LAW..
THE LAW SAYS YOU CANT KILL ONE, HELL, I DONT WANT THEM KILLED..
only 1 person i know took a shot a COUGAR with bow and he missed..
that was ONLY 1 that saw one in hunting season...
almost all sighting were in spring and summer and almost all were along roads in front of car....
this is why i feel the cougars are leaving or passing thru in summeror possibly only a few are covering state,this may be why you see 1 in area and then sighting stop after awhile....
if cougar wants to cover TERRITORY ,walking on a road is fasts way to do it..
ask trappers lately where they are trapping coyotes,almost all put their traps along roads,this is where FOOD is and they can cover MILES hunting,i know, our 47 pd coyote i was after last year covered over 10 mile area while hunting....
not 1 of his tracks were in WOODS,i believe its same of cougar,they are elusive but will take easier route to cover territory and find food...
you or nobody will convince me that most PGC field employees have not seen one..
when you have them tell you they dont believe it when their are people that did see one, that SMELLS to me....
