Re: Mountain lions in Pa?
I've seen mountain lion sightings listed in my local paper several times now. The former mayor of Derry reported one in his back yard several months ago.

Re: Mountain lions in Pa?

Dang Twisted you should get an award for photo of the year, you've captured a whole flock of them critters.
Granted I've never seen a big cat in the wild, and only a Poloroid photo of one that was claimed to have been tagged and shot, hm, maybe shot then tagged?.?.?.
I would have to believe that there are a few in the state, but certainly not as many as there are feral domestic cats.
As to the PA Game Com. tagging and releasing? That's 150% believable. That's one messed up dept.Jack

Re: Mountain lions in Pa?
I hate this debate, but will give my opinion anyway. Do I believe that a lion or two have recently roamed the state? Maybe, given the possibility of escaped or released "pets". Do I think the game commission is releasing them to reduce the deer heard or for any other reason, NO. Do I think that there is habitat in PA that could sustain a few lions, yes. Here is where I have a problem. With all of the sportsmen, bird watchers, photographers, varmint hunters, predator hunters, campers, hikers, snow shoers, skiiers, snowmobilers, atv riders, geo cache guys, mt. bikers, etc, etc. There has NOT been a verified sighting. I am not a biologist and am not familiar with the range of the Mt. Lion, but I would guess that they go where the food is and stay there like most other living things. Not only do we not have any true positively identified sightings, but THERE ARE NO PHOTOGRAPHS, NO PHOTOS OF TRACKS, NO CASTS MADE OF TRACKS, NO SCAT, NO PHOTOS OF SCAT, NONE HIT BY VEHICLE. If there were lions, these things would all be documented. I would actually welcome them, but since there are NONE here, it is a moot point.
