RE: Mountain lions in PA!
Many years ago I killed a very large feral cat with thick fur,up near camp. When I spotted him in thehayfield (emerging spring grass), first thought it was a fox until I got him in the 10x50s for an ID.
That feral tomcathad shown upat my uncle's farm and had killed two of his farm cat toms pretty much on the day it appeared. That thing wasreddish-yellow, almost orange in color, had a tail nearlyas long as its body and could've easily weighed 40+lbs, had it been domesticated and fed regularly.
Had it been out in the open at 200 yards instead of partially concealed in the grass, would've resembled a mini cougar from that distance.
