Trail cams/Game cams reveal many animals not seen by the most enthusiastic outdoor people. Haven't seen puma nor bigfoot yet. I'm sure they are out there but mewonders why they are so camera shy?

[if I were to see or photograph an adk mountain lion (wolf or bigfoot) I would share it with very few people - just like that retired nysdec official did in lake George back in 2010]
'Parks and Panthera Study the East Bay’s Big Cats' 'Panthera teams up with the East Bay Regional Park District to study how an apex predator lives in remote wilderness and peri-urban areas like the Oakland hills.' excerpt: 'With wolves and grizzly bears extirpated in California, few animals as iconic as the mountain lion remain in the state. Mountain lions were a bounty animal in California until the mid-1960s. Then, they were reclassified as a “game mammal” and could be hunted legally for sport. Today, mountain lions, also referred to as cougars or pumas, are considered a “specially protected mammal”—less severe than being endangered but protected from any kind of hunting. Because of their extremely shy nature and skill at avoiding humans, the size of the mountain lion population in the East Bay is unknown.' http://www.oaklandmagazine.com/Parks...Bays-Big-Cats/

Seriously, hike into Panther Gorge, leave your pack outside your tent, and I would almost guarantee that you'll have a bear encounter. The members of this forum are wide ranging and knowledgeable. If any of them have seen with their own eyes, a mountain lion, it would have been noted. Jim |

I have seen some interesting things on a trail cam. Thinking of sitting in a tree stand with night vision goggles but with my luck I would fall asleep and then fall.

they're readily available, easy to use, low in price and could prevent serious injury or death. I've collected numerous pics and videos with my t-cams that I've shared over the years and there are some pics and footage I wouldn't care to share.

"there are some pics and footage I wouldn't care to share." Now that has piqued my interest!
However, there are a lot of trail cams out there these days and most would not be as secretive or wise enough to suppress a sensational pic as one to which you allude. Methinks.

How cool would that be to see a cougar in the wild? I'm still trying to spot a moose!

State Employees gossip like a bunch of old ladies in a nursing home.
Sorry that may be offensive to old woman in nursing homes, state employees really can't keep their mouths shut. And with the near firing, shove out the door, of the head pathologist for the DEC, I would say he would be glad to tell you in the state released anything. Mountain lions have passed thru, that has been proven. |

#34: It's been pointed out that a high percentage of those California mountain lions had dog, cat and other domestic animal remains in their stomachs because they had been killed under permit for depredation.

I have been keeping a distance from this thread...but yesterday I did see a cougar.
This was a face to face, no mistaking the creature. MDB and all of my grandkids also saw the amazing animal. There was no mistaking it!! In fact if anyone wants to see it, I'm certain it's still there. Once again, there is no mistaking it for some other, smaller feline. I was no more than 3 feet away from it, seriously.
