I sent these pics to a guy I know who worked for the game commission. He said he himself had seen a cougar in the area he had lived (near State College) but he feels the prints are from a very big bobcat. I understand that if we do have cougar they would not be as big as those in the western states therefore their paws would not be quite as large.After seeing the prints my 65 pound shorthair made in the same area I cannot believe these prints were made by a bobcat. It would have to be a freak of nature. I work in a taxidermy shop and we have had big bobcats come into the shop. We also have a full mount large mountain lion and the prints are closer to the size of the lion's paws rather than the big bobcats we have mounted. I have never seen a mtn lion in the wild and am not saying for sure it was a lion that made these prints but it has convinced me to apply for a bobcat license next year. Since the Game Commission claims people mistake bobcats for mtn lions I guess mistakenly killing a mtn lion for a bobcat would be understandable, right? Very unlikely I will get the chance at whatever made the prints but it's worth a try.
