Cougars in new york State??????

Yea it was in ice the stride was was like 3 feet between long steps and 3 to 4 inches between the short step and and how far apart the tracks were from each other it seemed to be walking slow and there were other tracks in the mudd but they were really hard to see and they kept going for almost a quarter mile then we lost the trail the tracks seemed to be like a big cat so me and my buddy are setting up trail cameras around that area to catch it moving around and do you kno if they have a territory or do they just move on the where the food is or what ever they are looking for?

Yes, They do have a very large territory, A male most especially 100sq mi or more. And that is just it, probably going to be a long time before it ever comes back, if it does. Still a good idea to put the camera though.
Sooner or later, there's going to be pictures in your state, and many other states on the east coast.

No, not a good idea, only if your life was in danger would that work. If I was you, I would talk to a biologist in your area. Tell him what you found, and show him the picture.
