Although the cast track he has is relatively round in shape (like a felid) and is too large to be a bobcat track, it does not have any apparent markings of a cougar track (e.g., three lobes on the heel, indentures on the pad). The cast shows very little detail relative to the markings on the pad. At this point, I cannot make any determination on the track. I asked him to call me if he comes across other tracks. |
That's really the bottom line to this, to get some population estimates. |
They are really going to take off. It may be five years, it may be 10 years, but at some point they are going to become much more common to see in Pennsylvania. |
