Buckslayer Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 This is a ligitimate scanned 35mm trail camera photo of a mountain lion, taken on Wopsononock Mountian, about 10 miles from my apartment in Gallitzin. The elevation on this mountain is 2600ft, which is one of the highest points around the area. Keep in mind the highest spot in PA is Mt. Davis, at just over 3,000ft. Point is its a very secluded place for one to live, and although I've heard of people seeing them before, I needed proof. This is the first pic I believe is legit... A coworker of mine personally knows the hunter who owns the trailcam, who scanned this photo this past weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Re: Wopsononock, PA... Mountain Lion! Negative Matt. I'm 99% sure that is a cropped picture of a mountain lion trailing a mule deer....which is what is cropped out of this picture. If I'm right, that has been floating around the net for a couple years. I gots all excited there for a minute too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohiobucks Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Re: Wopsononock, PA... Mountain Lion! Yep, that is the one where the muley is walking a trail and the mountain lion is right behind it. Even that pic was determined a fake.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Re: Wopsononock, PA... Mountain Lion! Yeah, probably fake. I don't think there's any sage brush in PA is there???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckslayer Posted October 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Re: Wopsononock, PA... Mountain Lion! Finally!! Someone found it! Thanks shockwave! Yes my leg was pulled for a bit, but then they let go of it thanks to you guys! I was just a little excited at first! Wouldn't you be if an animal not formally acknowledged to exist in your state in 30 years was "just photographed" LOL Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I live in Fayette county, i`ve been hearing rumors about a mountain lion in and around gamelands 51, my boss claims to have seen one while riding his motor bike on the trails around the gamelands, i see no reason for him to lie. I also heard of one being shot off of Laurel Caverns road, again rumors... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Re: Wopsononock, PA... Mountain Lion! Thanks for posting that shockwave. I'm still waiting for the first real picture of lion in PA as well. With all the rumors you here about people seeing them, you figure there must be something to it. I know a lot of people that say there are no mountain lions and never will be, but to be honest I dont see why they wouldn't be here. At least a few. They were here once, all over the place, why couldn't they be here again? All we need is someone to get a legit picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the same pic as the mountain lion that was fixed to look like it was trailing a deer. Last time it was posted in here has been in the past year.

TreeWalker Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: Wopsononock, PA... Mountain Lion! Sorry....but this has been floating around the net for a couple of years now......from what I understand the cat photo is legit but originated in oregon.....the rest of the edits (photoshop jobs) that have been done to it, are not....including the cat following a muley, an elk...even sasquatch, LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gitcha_some Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Wopsononock, PA...
