PA also is a top 10 state for reported cases of seeing BIG FOOTS,
and I gather we all know on them there is still no real proof period they are still walking the planet earth!

I again, don't doubt a cougar COULD live in pa, we have the food for them and honestly enough land for them too to survive
but I do think most sightings and claims are, by folks that don't know any better or well, just WANT to get some attention/fame
so much so to the point that even if a HONEST picture happens, it would be very hard to believe anymore

I WISH there were cougars roaming PA's forest and farms, I find them fascinating critters
as for the game commission doing research into sightings n a d there reports
I personally know some things DON"T get reported that happen in that agency.
I am friends with many game wardens in PA, and have seen things most wouldn;t believe if I stated so I won't waste my time doing so!
in modern times its getting harder to do so, but back in the past before modern tech and social media and body cam's and so on
there were LOTS of things that happened that were NOT reported or written down! anyone that thinks others wise is very very naive!

I know Oldtimr will have issue's with this and I don't mean to provoke him,
if being honest, I'd hope even he can admit NOT all game wardens are of the same ethic's or ???
there are good one's bad one's and everything in between,!!
and add in the fact they have the ability to use THERE discretion on many things, can mean many things DON"T get written down or??
