the dec people saw the pic and agreed it was a mountain lion, i would think they know what there talking about... and i dont have the pic with me and i dont feel like driving 5 hours to get it.

So people are really responding to this and asking for proof. Anyone can get a picture of a mountain lion and post it here.
I believe the proof is in the eyes of the beholder.
I saw one in Pa just this summer. It was in a cage at T&Ds Cats of the world in Penns Creek. They are a beautiful animal.

Perhaps the DEC would give give you something to back this up?

Lots of ways to get a photo other then a 5 hour drive.

abarofsoap -

When I first said we would want proof...........I knew this was coming.


Don't take it personal - Just show us - we want to believe it too........... but need some real proof - and seriously if the DEC has confirmed it - seems like they would want to issue a press release too.?

ive seen them twice in my life in PA and a lady i did a job for took a pic of her dogs cornering one in her driveway but the game commission said "we dont have them" and told her her picture was a fake. if i remeber correctly PA game commission was claiming there were no coyotes here not too long ago and there is no doubt theres a ton here. a guy locally about three years ago kept telling the guys at a bait shop about one onhis property and the one day a game commissioner was there and said they dont live here. a few days later he shot it and took pics of it and brought them in and left them there. they claimed he went to another state and shotit and cam back. all this withing a few days.i dont think theres many but i sure dont care to run into one when climbing a tree. there was a show on discovery about a year ago that tracked MTlions they had a few that crossed two states and alot that crossed at least one. its foolish to think they couldnt gradualy get here there plenty of food for them so why doubt it so much.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah... I'll believe it as soon as some REPUTABLE source confirms it. Until then as far as I'm concernedall this is just more blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and BS. Somebody wake me when this thread dies like all the other ml threads die. After pages of drivel and unsubstantiated claims. What a waste of bandwidth!

RE: mountain lions in ny
 

hahaha, wait.... hold on... hahahahahaha, lets try to keep serious here. quit joking around



you cant come here and say "someone took a picture, and they said it was real" and expect people to believe you without showing the picture. have you not seen the debates about this? repeating that the DEC confirmed it over and over does nothing to prove it to people here. post the picture, or it didnt happen

RE: mountain lions in ny
 

i think its just a matter of people just dont want to face it because the most of them are probably scared of the mtn lion i live in new york and i believe we have mtn lions and also i have a friend that lives on taborton mountain and has seen wolves that dec claims dont exist either but they are the ones who put them there

Where Davidmil is building his house is where we go snowmobiling on the "tug hill plateau"....


DAVID... go to the flatrock inn and ask the owner Gordie about the mountain lion........ it will put any naysayers here to sleep.
