RE: COUGARS ARE HERE
 
Twenty years ago, cougars were pretty much unheard of outside of the western states. They have since been confirmed in Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois. I guess if this thread goes for another 20 years, then its title may cease to be in dispute.

i have to agree also.

i saw very few fawns this year and ones i did see,some were killed by coyotes and bear here in pa. WMU2G.
its hard for fawn to make it ,just to many predators for number of fawns born.hunters now shooting fawns also.
i saw 2 fawns killed at alvin bush dam during one of our bass tournaments.

i wish i had gun at time ,it was awful thing to watch.
this was on or about june 15th.

finally something is coming out on cougar on i-80.

PGC says they did not investigate it because the state police said they found DOG and took it.

after contacting state police their comment was ALL I CAN SAY IT WAS DOG.

no other comment on WHO in state police removed it and what was done with it.

4 other people saw animal laying along road but they said it was 2 miles from area that dog was picked up.

PGC says they DID NOT investigate it.


i never in my life saw a trooper stop and pick -up dead animal from roads.usually they call PEN-DOT and have them pick it up.:eek:

Paranoid ey?


PROVING there are wild cougars or panthers, or any other "out of place critter", in an area where they have never been, or haven't been for a very long time....

WILL.....

......cause the enviromental wackos and tree huggers to go into litigation overdrive at the State and Federal level in an effort to "preserve" cougar habitat, panther habitat, ect....and shut down OUR way of life. Trust me, the State Fish& Game agencies know exactly what could happen, and thatIS the reason why they refuse to try and prove anything.

It happened already in the PacificNorth West years agowhen the enviros shut down the logging industries life bloodin most of the region, when the poor little Spotted Owl species was "discovered" living in ONLY the old growth trees that the loggers were cutting down. They said the Spotted Owl could ONLY live in those trees and the Courts fell for it. Put thousands of timber/lumber workers out of work, as well as many other reprocussions that were felt nation wide. This effort was accomplished AFTER thetree spiking incidents that took placedidn't stop the whole operation.

It happens everyday when a "wetland" is determined to habitat a critter of some rare sort....

The proposed construction of the bridge to Canada in Buffalo NYthat's being held up as we speak due to what might happen tosome stupid bird and some stupid fish is a perfect example of the headache caused by enviro's......

Pretty simple to do the math and KNOW what would happen to our region should a breeding population of Cats be "discovered"....

Hanging pics and jaw jacking on a web site about such only serves to draw attention to the "problem".

Nuthin' wrong with knowing you might "saw" one, or knowing a buddie might "saw" one....but it's in our best interest as Sportsmen to not try to prove a damned thing and just let sleeping Cats lie...............

The enviro's are a formidable force and helping them hurt us is just plain stupid.


Here's a link to a pretty good read about what happens when you let the enviro's get crazy with the courts.

I remember this happening, which shows my age.....you not remembering it, shows yours.
