to all the unbelievers out there that there are no cougars in pa, i have been hunting northcentral pa for over 45 years, and have seen every animal in united states, hunted 18 different states and canadian provinces..One day while spring turkey hunting in clearfield county with 3 seasoned hunters, we saw a large black cat on road , hurried to it and it ran only yards from us, i knew what i saw, and asked the others, what they saw, all of us together said a mountain lion, black panther...i am an outfitter in north central and i am a qualifed expert on animals in united states..called the pgc. they said shouldn't drink and hunt..so much for there investigation..year later my wife, who also knows her animals saw one run across the road in front of her, it was a brown one, i got on pc and pulled up cougars, she said that is what it was..i phoned the local dcnr office and receptionist said that one of the workers saw it earlier that week..pgc was again called and he said shoot it and then he would believe it..If you have kept track of the deer herd extinction plan back in early 2000, Merlin Benner "biologist dcnr" made the quote that they should stock "cougars and wolves" to control the deer population in the quehanna wilderness area... maybe they did ...He is no longer with the dcnr..retired????..you have to understand the pgc, they are in deep trouble with license sales declining and to admit that there are mountain lions in this state would only keep the people from buying hunting licenses because they would be afraid to go into the woods or let their children in fear of being attack..they will never ever own up to cougars being in this state unless some one shoots one, then they would be arrested for shooting an endangered species...I have know amish for 30 years and never known them to be liars, but could be..known the pgc to be liars, just look at the so called harvest figures and deer per sq. mile..can't wait to see what the latest blood test will bring..probable never hear if it was cougar blood..amen..
