LMAO- The only thing insulted is my inteligence, by reading your last post. i am supposed to believe that you released cougars into NY? dude , this is off the handle! hey i'm sure they could be in maine, new hampshire, whatever, but thats not the the topic at hand. the topic is "COUGAR SIGHTING IN CENTRAL NEW YORK."
and to this date , there has been no scat, tracks, hairs ,videos, kill sites, photos, NOTHING to back up this statement. last time this thread went around, someone sent me a picture of a black housecat in a cornfield. it's laughable. Man, every state that HAS cougars has an issue with them, and new York is covertly releasing them..............riiiiiiiiight.
go to www.snopes.com (the urban legend homepage) and look around. every story that gets regurgitated here is documented there. giant pike -catfish- bluegills that scared underwater welders so badly they quit thier jobs, DEC releasing rattlesnakes to control the wild turkey population (my favorite)... the 200lb coyote in PA that turned out to be someones 120lb pet wolf-malamute hybrid, it's all there.

i've no interest in getting into a pissin match here, just think about what you're laying out for us to believe.

hey, you very well may have been involved in a conspiracy/black op to release cougars in NY..........cool.
i think that would make climbing into a tree at 4 am to go bowhunting quite interesting.... but till i see some proof, i'll remain skeptical.
the jackasses i was refering to are the ones that come to my fathers taxidermy shop with a coyote thinking its a timber wolf, or a bobcat saying it's a cougar. happens at least 2 times a season.
have a good one
