I have been away from this thread for a while because I get tired of Mr. Know-it-all, the self appointed wildlife authority for the Eastern seaboard of the United States. If this debate is about the pic dated 8/22/2011 I don't know how anyone could not clearly see that this is a fox. I will be...

Quote: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I you live near the Quabbin then you'll know where I saw a mt. lion. I was heading to the Swift River Wildlife Management Area to go hunting with my friend. We had just passed the trout hatchery and just a little way after that red house next to the...

As I've said before, I'd love confirmed reports that mt lions are breeding in the northeastern and Atlantic states but it just isn't happening. In this day and age, with everyone and his brother having game cams out someone at some point should have captured a series of photos of them if they...

Quote: I've hunted and fished in the wilds of NYS for 60 of my 72 years and have also " heard numerous reports of mountain lions here" and they've all proved to be false--somebody saw something and it turned out not to be a mt lion. I even was led to "Mt lion tracks" in the snow by a neighbor...
