they were said to be around the school yet i have never seen a picture not even a blurr

people can get permints for those but i am sure there has been a few escapes

I am not saying they are here or not. But I remember a map that was on our camp wall up in clinton co.which showed the location, date and name of the person where a "panther" was shot. As I recall the dates were from the late 1800s to early 1900s.
So cougars were native to PA way back when.

i just cant remember name of camp.
that mr.parucha wrote a book on it ,he is from lock haven.
it had the story interview from local from renovothat saw panther looking in window of camp.
only difference between then and now, that guy shot it looking in window and it was big.
only place we are getting steady reports is the keating mtn area of clinton county.
some of areas light sighting over last 15 years in clinton countyare.
hyner,pa.johnson run
so.renovo,petes run /cranberry
hammersly fork,dutlinger wild life area
beech creek rd/rt144
what all these areas have in common are they are WILDEST AREAS wee have in county too.

Plenty of snow on the ground shouldn't be a problem finding tracks and then a kill,right? They kill on average 52 deer a year.

as for prints, i saw 1 confirmed cougar print in clinton ,so far with photo.
that is on cougar network site,you can see that.
but i know of no one that has seen cougar track in snow locally.
