I have NOT seen it/them and I really don't want to, unless I have my camera in one hand and a firearm in the other.
Have any (reliable, sober) forum members seen such a beast walking around and, if so where and when.
From my reading, I see that authorities (Fish and Game, Police Depts.) are reluctant to admit to the presence of mountain lions (pumas?) in our area, but I assume that is just to keep tourists calm.

I believe the reason F&G won't say they're here is that the animals which have been found (dead) in New England can be traced back to the Northern Rockies, so it's true they're here but they're not from here. If they were breeding here I think they would change their message. However, I don't get why they won't say they're here!
