RE: Mountain lions in PA!
Arguing that the track can't be real because it's over a tire print is silly. We all see tracks of many kinds on top of tire tracks. A raccoon cam ake a print right in a truck tire track. Tractor tires are made to "float" or distribute the weight of the machine so that the tires don't sink in soft earth or mud. It is very plausible that any animals track could show up in a tire track like that.
4evr, you say you came upon the track yourself. I asked that specifically because we get so many stories that are second, third, fourth,.... twenty seventh hand accounts of "the facts". You've never given any of us a reason to think you would lie on here that I've seen so my interest just went up a notch or two. It's a shame theprint got destroyed before you could document it. The problem is that we've still not been able to get confirmation even when credible people see or believe they saw something.
