The mountain lion has been a debate for a long time. I remember when they were made an endangered species in the 70's in NH. There hadn't been a confirmed kill since the late 1880's, so Fish and Game looked for a long time and finally decided they were extinct not too long ago. Despite their extinct status, people seem to spot them from time to time. Hunters, hikers, snowmobilers, skiers, lumberjacks and other types who spend a lot of time in the woods and know what a bobcat and a lynx looks like see them. I also remember reports of sightings along the highway and stuff by more 'city' type people. Despite being extinct, the recent advent of digital trail cameras used by hunters have spotted a few in recent years.

Fucking awesome!
Yeah, my new neighbor said he saw it cutting across the field from my property (he was in his car), and he said it leaped the 2 lane road in one bound meaning, it leapt off of one bank, hit the "Yellow Line" in the middle of the road (there isn't one, but you catch my meaning), and the next time it landed was the opposite bank".....he also said he saw the black on it's tail-tuft.
He also said dogs go missing around here with alarming regularity, so keep Dexter in......
I dunno, but a pretty cool story.
Another one of those "Why I should carry a handgun in the woods" kind of things.
