RE: MOUNTAIN LION PICTURE IN PA.
Sorry DougE, looks like you were correct. Although they say Big Cat with a question mark, the text does indeed indicate that the paper confirms it as a cougar. I'm not sure they meant to but they certainly did. I was mistaken.
Thanks livbucks, that was much clearer!

- I have been on this forum now for quite awhile and I made the same mistake when I first joined. Weather i was right or the other individual was right at the time it doesn't really matter now - this is all for fun and to keep in contact with others who have similar intrests.
if I am not mistaken i believe it was a very similar topic to this thread and the other member was moose1937 - I think I may have the screen name wrong but it is close. I made a post in the middle of a thread like this being very serious and got bagged on right out of the gate by moose - i didn't take it as I should have and I got defensive in return. After being a member for awhile and seeing how most of these threads play out I have learned that most of the time it is just harmless fun and it keeps the debate going. The only diference between what my experience was and how some of the new members come on here is that I did not come out degrading and putting down established members I resorted to that after being confronted from someone else first.
People who are going to poke fun and just mess around with other members in harmless fun is one thing - trying to put down other members and their beliefs is just not right and if that is how you are going to come on as a new member you're not doing yourself any favors and are certainly not making any friends on here.

Sproulman,there may very well be a cougar or two in this state.I have no idea but I want to see real evidence.So far this is the third picture thats been posted of a cougar in Pa and all three turned out to be bobcats.I know several reliable people that claim to have seen them.One of my best friends claims he saw one up close two years ago.This guys hunts about 4 different states a year for everything imaginable.He's an experienced outdoorsman but he ain't no cougar expert.Do I think he's lying?No way but I don't think he saw what he thinks he saw.I'll put 20 bucks on it that he saw a bobcat like most others.
Explain why so many people claim to see these black panthers in Pa.Where would they come from?Is there any recorded to even exist in the United States?I've neverseen a picture of one that someone killed out west or any other place for that matter.
As far as the color of thatanimal,film doesn't always take perfect pictures,especially under low light conditions.That picture is without a doubt a picture of a bobcat in it's summer coat.I can't see how anyone could say otherwise.
What's different about this picture and the original that makes this one look smaller?I don't see a large animal in that picture.Look at the head and then look at the body.The body is only about 3.5 times as long as the head.

With all due respect amayerican, you did click on this thread, so it must be of some interest to you.

We'll use any excuse to BS.
Come on in and have a cold one.
