RE: Mountain lions, in PA or NY?
I know an extensive net work of hunters in the Gowanda area, they know farmers and hunters and themselves hunt in all areas around Gowanda. Unless this happened yesterday and the phone lines are broke, I'd bet this rumor wasn't true. Of course, maybe, they just got the town wrong, maybe it happened just like that but it was a different town or I somehow didn't hear it.
They did have a big hostage situation there the other day but no cougars were involved.
