RE: Cougar Sighting in Central NY
Hey Ron - I'm well, it good to see you posting every so often. The cabin's come a long way, but alas - it seems we always have something to do - (staining this year, and interioir painting 2 rooms.) Did you get your's built the way you wanted?
Moose- I apologize - I should not have called you an idiot. If you knew me, then you would understand that I studied NYS Fisheries and Wildlife in college. That, while I did not choose my profession as such, its is still my passion. Also, I know that there are no cougars in NY. I heard the story from my father - who heard it through a good friend of one of the local DEC employees - supposedly. I figured that someone might know the true story (bobcat?, Pet?, Coyote?) so I posted the question.
I depise the rumors that you elude to as well. I dislike even more, how gulible some people are, when the facts can be so easily obtained - the one that I remember best is the email that went around showing a HUGE Coyote - dead laying next to a nice 8 point buck - and so many people beleived the 200 lb coyote story!
Another one I hate is the "Black Wolves" and "coydogs" in NY.
