RE: Cougars in Southern NY State
Thanks (NHBuck) for the information in News paper, every body should go on and look at the road sign that they put up! Do you think Mass. would take that step if Mountian Lions were not present? Hats off to them! I have taken 4 more sighting reports this week. all very credible. I do have pictures of tracks, and a burial and scat. The pictures I could post trying to get them on my web site, the "scat" cost $200.00 to be tested, out of New York State. Why I have not spent the money?, well DEC will say it is an escaped pet if it test positive, so why do it at this point? Just so you all know I don't believe DEC has released cats, but do I think other agencies, with lots of money, and believe the predator should be here, could be part of the reason we have a population. To all of you, get "armed with cameras"carry one at all times, and the field cameras work GREAT! These cats show themselves for about 15-20 seconds, so with that much time do you think that might be why pictures are not flying around?
