BOY HAS THIS TOPIC GROWN.in last, lets say 10 yrs here in clinton county,pa.cougar sighting were a lot. dcnr employees saw them, they are out there everyday and know difference .
i saw one, i know what i saw too,it was cougar.it will be something you never saw in woods and for me at 15 ft away , nothing i ever saw in my life of 46 yrs in woods.and i will add for laughter the cougar i saw GROWLED or whatever its called at me just like you hear when you go to pennstate football game.
but here is strange thing, not 1 report so far in last year or so is coming from people in woods.this is why i feel cougar is passing thru areas not taking up residence in certain areas of pa.
look at cougar shot in subs of chicago.he came from 5 states away if i read article correctly. he did this in 9 months over 1,000 miles he traveled.
this was second one killed in subs in chicago area and he was WILD cougar, not someones pet.
i know its hard for most to believe cougar is in pa. a cougar was killed 5 miles from my home years ago in clinton county. this was in pg news i believe.old newspapers have articles too of camp owners on fork hill shootig a cougar years ago when things were not documented by state.
like said, i have not got 1 report of cougar latelt but 5/10 yrs ago, oh my i bet 100 sightings...........
