looking out of my window in november i saw a large animal and watched it because i couldnt make out what it was. then it leaped over a fallen tree and i saw the muscular shoulders and then a long tail with a white tip. I told people that that I thought I saw A mountain lion and was told that absolutely was not possible. On december 31,2008 after a 9" snowfall, I walked out of the back door to start my car and notice a line of "footprints" going across the yard starting at about 2 to 3 feet apart to about 6 apart heading toward a overflowing creek. thinking it might be a prowler who ran from the house, i was careful noy to disturb the tracks and walked to the rear of the house to examine a track that was in only several inches of snow. it was a large pawprint about 4 to 5 inches in diameter. i went back to the house and told the kids (teens) that i thought a large cat was out looking for food and to be careful, They only looked at me. Today, january 1 2009 I was sitting at the same window, at the computer, trying to look up a DEC phone, at the same time talking to my adult daughter about what i should do and who should i call when i looked out across the rising creek and there it was. I yelled for someone to come to see and two people in the house saw it. later today it re-appeared and two other adults saw it at the creek edge looking this way. there is no duobt, there is no question, there was no blurr, it was clear, it was brown, it was big, it was and is alive. for those doubters, you are wrong.

my daughter and i and a girlfriend were comming home from horse riding lessons one day over the back roads it was about 10 am and a big cat jumped out in the road in front of us out of a swampy area below town and leaped up a hill - we were in shock -it had a long tail and it was big. not your typical bobcat.

my father and i found a dead mountain lion in the adirondacks at the enterance to the land we were hunting. we both couldnt believe what we were seeing.it was 9:30 pm and snowing so we called it a night and decided to inspect it in the morning. thing was about 4 long laying down and there was 18" of snow on the ground. when we woke the next day to check it out in the day light it was gone. only patches of hair. it looked like it was hit by a car from the proximity to the road and the blood from the mouth area. if i ever see one again i will notify the dec.

you can see from this photo that this guy is a taxidermist.he is wearing an apron.if you look into the backroom where the door is open you can see several racks hanging.no one guy would have that many nice racks from pa.or ny.
