Tuftonboro sighting
While walking up Dame Road this past spring I saw approximately 250ft ahead a large tawny animal with a long tail ( as log as it's body ) cross the road, stop and look back at myself and my dog, and slowly disappear into the woods.
The animal had smallish ears, and the tail was almost dragging on the ground. I will say my dog, who is generally very happy and excited to see other animals, was extremely nervous and more than happy to turn around and go back the other way. As we walked back he kept looking behind us and kept his tail between his legs.
It wasn't until I thought about it that I realized what I had seen was probably a mountain lion. I contacted the local police and they were quite interested.
Fish and Game were less excited. Their response was " yeah, they won't bother you"
