I don't understand. Why would the PGC lie about mountain lions?? Explain it to me.
no doubt a WCO has seen a cougar in pa.
most likely if admitted, they would cause them some problems that they do not want.
but remember, i only saw 1 in my lifetime,they are not that plentiful.
i believe same cougar may be seen in diffrent areas and i believe they may come and go too.
too many people i know that know difference from cougar/bobcat.
too many.to be mistaken.
i remember when we were being denied that we were seeing COYOTES all in about 2 years in great numbers back in the 90s.
no doubt in my mind that SOMEONE released coyotes into our woods and did it in about a 2 year period back then.[:@]
as for cougar, i dont believe that PGC released them but i think they wandered into state as you read now how far cougars are coming from.
Coyotes were never denied being in PA by the PGC , there are pictures of them in the game news from every decade. Please provide one link to where the presence of Coyotes was denied by the PGC.
I have never seen a cougar in PA but if I did I wouldnt lie for anyone and in nearly nine years with the PGC nobody has ever asked or directed me to lie about ANYTHING!
being you are A WCO for just 9 years, congrats but this was comments back in 90s when the coyotes were dumped on us in large numbers.
i know, you will say that was not done, we DONT BELIEVE IT.
why dont we, ALL COYOTES SIGHTING HAPPENED IN ABOUT 2 YEARS IN 90S.
i never said a coyote was not here.i never said wco lied.
denials were that they were not brought in,that is what i meant.
respectfully, no way coyotes all MIGRATED here in that 2 year period back in 90s.
to go from never seeing one too seeing hundreds of reports in those 2 years,someone stocked them here.
i dont want to turn this into another bashing on coyotes on who did it and no evidence who did it.
i never said the PGC released coyotes, i believe someone did as now the PGC is saying on cougars,WE THINK THEY MAY BE RELEASED PETS
