Cats,where did they come from and why.About 2004 the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem opened a private,not for profit preserve.As the Red Wolf was almost extinct in the wild they started a wolf breading program.They gave wolves to zoos that are now at capacity with them.The breeding program nationwide is on hold in many ways the victim of its own success.They are not going to shut down this center with all this funding coming to this not for profit preserve. Wednesday.Dec 30 2009 The W.C.C. Goes to the Cats They are now breeding Mountion Lions for release into the wild.I think we the people should check into this center before their is loss of life from unknowing victims.We all can ajust to living with wild animals if we know what we are dealing with.

Check this out,OOP"S DEC to review POSSIBLE Cougar sighting in Allegany Co in 2008. (2008 2008 2008) Old news put it under the rug.In July 2010 I had a chanch to have one cross a road I was on.Because I am a hunter and have been out west and in the far north know what a cougar looks like. A friend of mine has a small cattle farm not far from where I saw it. As he had spring calfs in his pasture I stop in and informed him of the cat.Two days later he and his girl friend caught a look at this mountian lion at the back of his property.They watched it for sometime and had a good look at it.It was a mountian lion.

If you read posts before you would see that there have been numerous sighting, paw prints etc. No one knows how they got here, reintroduced, pets that got loose or have made their way on there own but there is at least one that,s been here because people have seen them and I.m one of them!!! I didt see a breeding populaton or a pack of them. I saw 1. Is it the same one that has been seen by others, Dont know.Is there people who have seen something else. Yes!!! I bet 70-80 % of the time they were sighting at a far distance, low lite or confusion with a bobcat, house cat ,lynor something else and then theres the people telling fairy tales , just like during deer hunters , you know( the Big one that got away)I know why people steadfastly dont believe because I was on of them! I used to tell people they were nuts! Not any more . If one of your close friends or hunting buddies says he seen one youll take a interest just like anyone else. So i wouldnt call your fellow sportsman all stupid!

people are so stupid.
there are no such thing as mountain lions in ny. not within a 1000 miles of here. They need huge blocks of woods. The only possible habitat near here is the Adirondacks or the National forest in PA. other than that, no way. With all the hunters and scouting cameras and people walkin in snow there would have been scat or tracks or sightings. people are stupid anfd look for somethin stupid to get people goin. Learn the difference between a house cat and a mountain lion

"Something like 75-80% of the harvest is during the first week so why shorten the season to save only 25% and p--- off fellow hunters extend bow either in early or late season to give bowhunters another week or two to even out the range difference leave ML how it is."
We should shorten it to save up to "25%" of the bucks--thats a lot more to be walking around for next yr. We should shorten it to lessen the stress on those who do make it through the season, so they have a little more fat on em for the winter.
I would also like to see gun season moved back at least 1 if not 2 weeks (out of the rut), and shortened to 10 days or so.

I would like to see the muzzleloader season stay the same but extend late bow until Jan 1. I would love to see a shorter gun season by at least a week.
For what reason and benefit?

Like any survey,results,questions and population sample can be intentionally manipulated to suit ones purposes. While results of surveys can be an interesting read, the results can somestimes misrepresent the truth. What type of hunters are Cornell targeting, what group is being targeted etc. In this time of fiscal uncertainty the hunters of NY will be better served by the DEC investing the money into other critical deer management projects rather than enabling a bunch of students to gain sholastic achievements or for purposes of placating hunter sentiments through more rhetoric.

I would like to see:
Bow season remain the same
No special primitive muzzleloader season
Extend existing late bow and muzzleloader to end of year
Add a short bow/muzzleloader/gun antlerless season in January
Issue another buck tag if one fills a doe permit
