Re: ARE THERE MOUNTAIN LIONS IN PA?
No they think they have because they don’t know what the hell they are looking at.
Look there are people who study and work with wildlife for a living on the state and federal level. Many of them are also game hunters. I’ve heard many of these people speak in podcasts as well as written studies.
This subject has come up a time or two over the last three years since I’ve decided to educate myself on our country’s conservation efforts. I’ve heard the arguments and I’ve heard smarter people then anyone on here in this subject confirm what we already know, that there are no meaningful numbers of lions in PA.
Feel free to disagree if you want but unless you provide some real evidence nothing changes. If not then your just choosing to believe something because you want too.
Late note:
Big cats require big meals and would easily find farms and ranches with livestock including cows and horses. I’ve never heard a single complaint from a farmer or rancher about large predators decimating their herd numbers in PA.Last edited by Hodgie; November 14th, 2018 at 04:45 PM.

Re: ARE THERE MOUNTAIN LIONS IN PA?
I recall hearing something about the game commision on rt 663, near the Greenlane resivor. They were supposedly telling people fishing to make shure they were armed. Was it bullshit? I dont know, like the elusive cat story its been heard but not seen.Aggies Coach Really ??? Take off the tin foil bro.

My brother, who does not hunt, is good friends with his dentist. The dentist (who is a hunter) sent this to him yesterday. Lake Tomahawk is in Columbiana County, OH which is only a few miles from the state line and Beaver County, PA.
It has either a yute or a dog in its mouth. Photo was caught on a trail camera. There have been multiple sighting of it in the last month according to the dentist.
This could be a total bunch of BS for all I know. Just passing along since it is a topic lately.

Tail looks like it is "tacked on". Too pixelated to tell though.

Re: ARE THERE MOUNTAIN LIONS IN PA?
I have permission to hunt a small 40 acre parcel that is POLLUTED with deer. I have hunted this area for the last five years and run 4 trail cameras on the property 365 days per year. I spoke with a neighbor (a non-hunter who lives in a house adjacent to the property) who told me that he has been seeing a "Monster Buck, the biggest buck I have ever seen in my life" every morning in a small field. I have a pretty solid inventory of bucks that live on this farm from my cameras. I can say with absolute certainty that there is not "monster buck" who visits that field every morning. I happen to have a camera in the exact field the neighbor claims he sees this deer. There is a nice 90" 8-point there almost every morning, but its certainly no monster.
Now, do I think the neighbor is lying to me and telling me there is a monster buck there? No. I believe that he, as a non-hunter and non-outdoor enthusiast, just does not know enough about deer to determine what a "monster buck" is. That is the same way I feel about Mt. Lions in PA. I believe that a lot of folks who claim they see Mt Lions genuinely think they saw one. However, 99% of those people cannot tell the difference between a bobcat and a Mt. Lion.
I find it difficult to imagine that there are hundreds, maybe thousands of human Mt. Lion sightings every year in PA, but those same Mt. Lions are so smart they have not stepped foot in front of a trail camera in the last decade. Does not pass the smell test.
