Update, I spoke to my father recently, and he told me that the mt. lion shot in NY had a tag from Idaho! Apparently, the person had purchased this animal from either the DNR or their game commission.The tag was inside the ear of the animal. The person who owned this animal, apparently, dumped the cat off somewhere, and was eventually shot. Got no pic's, or proof, but that is what he was told through the Conservation club that he belong's too. So the story goes.............

PS: They are currently trying to track down this person. They have the info from the ear tag!!
