Documentation I agree with you Mavs00 that they are reluctant to document a sighting by people like us because they are afraid some people might lie about it, or those who lack knowledge on the subject might mistake a fisher or marten for a mountain lion. If you think about, who knows more...

Unsubstantiated Reports.... -mavs00 Sometimes you have to believe those ole Joe's if they are locals to the area. Those are not the people carrying cameras, testing DNA, they are the people who know the mountains the best. If they are reliable, I trust them as much as the DEC reports. But if...
