i've lived south of buffalo for 50 years and haven't heard of this sheep killing lion yet.there have been rumors of pictures taken of big cats in this area but when time comes to show them , they never come through. the local c-o also knows nothing of this lion.sounds like one of those local legends seen by someones brothers sister-in-laws twice removed third cousin who swears they have pics.you can read what the dec says about lions by going to

not a lot there but they do say stocking is not done.if someone does come up with real proof i'd live to know about it , just won't hold my breath waiting.
