Good evening. Unapproved use by "Neville" of a message related to mtn lions in PA that I sent to outdoor writer and radio host Jim Slinsky outside of HuntingNet and many months ago has caused some confusion. While I am flattered that Neville felt the material was worthwhile to reproduce and share with this Forum, I regret the message was not more clearly characterized by him at the time. Please also note that I erred in that message, mistakenly assuming Jim Slinsky had written about a particular case with which I was familiar involving a sighting report of a purported cougar killing a deer in PA. He did write in one of his newspaper columns about a sighting report, but it was not the same oneI thought it was.In later messages he and I clarified things. The case I knew of---and referred to in the Neville message that appeared in this string above---actually involved a state employee who watched what he felt was a mtn lion attack and kill a smallwhitetail buck. However, evidence at the scene, includingmatching the canine teeth (fangs) of a male bobcat skull with the puncture marks on the deer's neck, as well as documentation of bobcat tracks in the area of the attack, incriminated a bobcat.

Three years ago I hunted in an area of Colorado that had a high mountain lion population.The guys I hunted withlived there all their lives thereand make a living by spending most of their time in the wilderness.In all those years,they've seen one mountain lion.

Mountainlions are a secretive animal. Might explain why hard evidence is so hard to come by here in PA.
I wonder if those Colorado guys ever found a dead ML in Colorado?
Being there would be fewer here in PA, and they are protected, getting a dead body would be extremely hard to do.

Sometime cougars turn up in places that they aren't supposed to.

Just shoot 'em if you see 'em. When you go to jail we will have our proof!
Somebody has gotta be willing to take one for the team, right?
To put you in jail, they would have toadmit it isn't a released pet BTW.
