And you got one guy saying he knows someone that got a ticket from the DNR (which not one article on the ticket), and the animal isn't even protected in this state.
What is it about PA and OH guys that brings out the liar in them when it comes to Mt. Lions?
Hey don't jump on Me saying I'm lieing. I'm just telling what I heard. I have no reason to make that up. I did see a picture of the so called mountain lion. For all I know it could have been a photoshopped picture of him with a mountain lion. Or he could have killed one somewhere else. I dunno, but I did ask the guy just recently if he ever heard anything about the little ones the dnr took. We went to put stands up a couple weeks ago, and were talking to him. Here is his story of what went on. There was a wild game hunting farm, that would do elk, wild boar, mountain lion, goats, all kinds of exotic deer, and crap like that. He said it was like within 6 miles of where we hunt. They would get the animals after the person paid for the hunt, and turn them loose into the enclosure. Well I guess they went bankrupt, and got into some trouble, and just left some of the animals they had in the enclosure. Some of them happened to be mountain lions. Not sure how many. So they eventually escaped from the enclosure. There were also a good amount of wild boar escaped, and thats why we have some wild boar in our area also. Again this is only what I heard from this guy. I am not saying I know this for a fact, but its just a fact that I heard it from someone.
