This was hit by a car on Route 66 by Beaver run, near Delmont. A PA Game Commission weighed the cat in at 190 pounds.

Just for a point of reference , Delmont is approximately 20 miles south of downtown Leechburg.

my family owns ~290 acres about 10 miles from where this was hit. There's more out here, trust me. These things are 100x scarier to see than the occasional black bear.

Coyotes are everywhere, I hear them where I live. Not exactly in the boonies just some decent sized blocks of woods.

Cats are deffinitly out there as well. I'm sure there's some in delmont as well as Johnstown...

That cat was shot in the chest, after being treed by dogs,(the crates in the pick up). And none of it happened in PA.

I've never seen one in real life out in the wild around here. Never seen any coyote's or any foxes either. I guess u gotta be in the right place at the right time.

i've heard of a few big cats lurking in the woods where i'm at (near altoona) but havent seen any for myself. in the 4.5 years i've been driving coal truck, i've seen a bunch of coyotes, fox & 3 bobcats (just saw one this morning). i've seen all of these out near where i haul out of near Brush Valley. i've also heard rumors of several wolves in the region, but i've never seen one. i'd like to see a wolf though! that would make my day
I work near Blue Knob and several of the night shift guys have seen a big cat there, I saw a one about 15 years ago near the flight 93 crash site.

There's a few coyotes around here, My neighbor shot 5 in one day they were running down his calf's in the lower field a 300 Weatherby Mag took care of the problem..

About 3 years ago a hunter on my property spotted a Bobcat feeding on a dead deer..

From what the PA Game Commision says, you are correct. Every once in awhile there are some rumors of a friend's friend's cousin's neighbor's visiting son in law seeing a big cat. The big cats were hunted out of the area in the late 1800s I believe, and now are only found out west.

looked it up and this what I found

According to "official" facts and sources, the mountain lion is allegedly found in only thirteen states: Arizona, California, Idaho, Colorado, Florida, South Dakota, Montana, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. We know better than that and have personally seen evidence of cougars in Oklahoma (http://www.totalwildlifecontrol.com/cougars-in-oklahoma.html). Mountain lions have been displaced as man has moved farther and farther into the mountain lion's habitat.

my wifes family has an 80+ farm in wash twp that borders beaver run dam.
when i was first dating my wife some 13-14 yrs ago, i left the house at 3am to come home towards delmont/murrysville and saw a coyote in the middle of rt 66 eating a road kill. no joke. thats something i'll always remember.

her uncle also shot a black bear in thier driveway there some time back.

:bsflag::bsflag::bsflag: I got that same pic in an email, 3days ago saying that the cat was shot in Boyer,Pa (between franklin & butler) by coyote hunters :bsflag::bsflag::bsflag:

I never hold any truth to the emails i get like this...

I got the same thing about a week ago as text message. The guy who sent it to me claimed that a friend of a friend shot it as it was coming towards him!! I thought it was B.S. now i know it is B.S.
