OK !! Does this mean I can make an occasional post about cougars? without intimidation? ..and not being accused of making worthless posts? You can make them all day long, all I have ever asked for is some hard evidence...still waiting though!

In zoos and people's pets they are, otherwise there is no evidence at all. Scientifically impossible for a population to exist. You can believe in the boogeyman all day long, it still doesn't make it real.
Hard evidence boys...until then, just a fairy tale.

By the way I have a trail camera picture from a farm in wythe county, it doesn't belong to me but I know the place where the camera was set. I haven't saw one my self or any evidence but the man that owns the farm across from my in laws swears that him, his wife and daughter has saw a big cat more that once infact my father in law whom is 77 years old and was raised on the farm swears that their is a few cats still around. I BELIEVE THEIR ARE BIG CATS IN VIRGINIA.

SWB,
I believe they are here. I know a number of very credible folks that seen them. On the other hand there's some folks that want evidence yet cannot produce any evidence that they are not here. I say prove they are NOT here........

I also have credible sources that have seen them in Virginia. One in Covington, my buddy who happens to be a Sheriff and avid Sportsmen saw a Mt. Lion on his property a couple of years ago. The other was in Shenandoah about 4 years ago, the guy is my Uncle which owns a 75 acre farm up on Bryce Mountain.
Have I seen one personally? Nope.. Do I believe a good friend and my Uncle? Yep..sure do.

Show me boys! As far as I'm concerned, they are the same as the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and the Jersey Devil...lots of people swear they have seen them yet there is NEVER any proof. Want to know something else, I believe that these people have seen "something" that they truly believe was one of those mythical creatures; the same way I believe every mountain lion witness here in VA saw something as well...could it be a dog, deer, bobcat, or cat though? Yep, and I believe that is what is actually seen. Our brain takes limited amount of information and tries it make it into something that makes sense to us...apparently a lot of you think a mountain lion makes sense despite no evidence ever being presented. So SWB, am I calling you a liar? Nope, I just think you are taking what you saw and decided that it had to be a mountain lion and are unwilling to admit that you might have seen something else.
Prove they are not here...sure, none have been found, none have been killed by a car, no scat ever found, no tracks ever found, no mountain lions treed while running dogs for bears, deer, or coons...its all no, no, no. That means to me, no mountain lions here Joe.
I've gone over it time and again with you guys, simple science. The genetic diversity required to support a remnant population here in VA would have had to been high enough that we would constantly have hard evidence...if nothing else, we would have them getting hit by cars and could identify them that way. It has not happened, it isn't feasible. It's science pure and simple...no late night fairy tales, just hard evidence. I will be happy to bow down to you boys and admit I was wrong if any hard evidence is ever found. Whether you admit it or not, we all know that it isn't going to happen though because the evidence is never going to materialize; mythical creatures never leave evidence.

Three paragraphs don't prove they don't exist. Where's your proof they are not here? Obviously you can't prove it. I understand you don't believe it and that OK by me, but to try to tell everyone else they are full of it because of your beliefs is BS. There are a number of credible eye witnesses that confirm their existence......what can you say? You have a number of folks that haven't seen one? ? By the way....no science about it. Unless you can cite all the scientific studies on cougars in Va.

im with rob....wheres the proof,dead body,credible trail cam pics. im not saying anybody is full of you know what but until i see some solid proof or a cat myself i aint buying it,theres too many bear hounds running round the mountains of virginia to have not treed one by now.when i talk to the bear hunters i know they all say the same thing,they treed plenty of bears,coons,and bob cats but no one they know has treed a cougar and if they have they sure aint talkin about it.. maybe they are here and maybe bigfoot is real too
