People are seeing them around Pittsburgh and between all four corners of the state.What's most impressive is that many of them are black.Pretty impressive when they're seeing animals all over Pa that have never been known to exist in captivity or the wild.Equally impressive is that these animals leave no tracks or other sign.

This has been going on for a while now but no scientific evidence has been submitted as of yet to prove this from what i understand? I do not doubt it is possible but without actual proof the boat does'nt float??

Mountain lions have never been known to exist in captivity or the wild?
What the heck do you mean??

I'm talking about the mystical black mountain lion that people see all over Pa.

I still stick to the belief that if SO many exist everywhere in PA, why is a body never found, a road-kill or a trail cam pic? How about just a pic of a track?? Apparantly they walk on air?

No doubt, if they existed people would see one or see tracks or trailcam one. They wouldnt just be in the woods and never seen.

People see them all the time.They just don't know what they're seeing.Funny thing is,it's always either a minister that wouldn't lie or a trapper that knows what he's talking about,even though he has no experience with them.

OK, I have seen one in Wyoming County in early muzzleloader season 3 years ago. Big one, It was just sneaking along like it was hunting, 30 yards away. Watched it for around 15 minutes. The farmer who lets me hunt said he wondered why he saw no fawns at all. It was a tan one. The farmer and his wife also saw one or two but after I saw mine. I could have shot it but it was so nice and why kill something you cant eat. C Ya, Stosh

So you can prove it has been in PA? Thats why I'd kill it. Then in your defense say it was coming at you in an attacking fashion so you killed it in self defense.
BTW, I dont believe it.

there have been countless claims of mountain lion sightings in pa for years now. but no hard could evidence that i know of exists? The PA game commission even denies they are here? however i do believe (just my opinion) that it is highly possible they might exist here in pa esp. in remote ereas of the state! I think it would be great to put this mith to an end and be able to provide positive proof they infact do reside in pa! but if that does happen i hope it is not by someone killing it just for the sake of it?

The PGC does not deny their existence.They simply state that there's no credible evidence of a wild or breeding population.
They can't be killed because they were once indigenous to Pa.Any animal that was once indigenous to pa is protected unless it's listed as a game animal.

Yes i know they are a protected species but i have heard a few WCO'S flat out say there are no big cat's in PA adn that was at sporstmans show in front of groups of people? I do belive it is possible they are here but in limited no's in the most remote locations! Thanks for all the input!
