Cougar in south central PA?
Is there any possibility that there are Cougar in south central PA? (Gettysburg area)

My son (25) was out in the woods hiking today and saw what appeared to be a large cat at about 150-200 yds. It had a long slender tail, 2-2.5 ft., light tan coat with dark face. Size was difficult to judge, but about the size on a medium-large dog.

From what I've heard in New York, I'd say it was possible. However, it's been quite some time:

Very possible, many sightings in central NY hard on eastern border with Mass. Rumors abound that "they" have released 8 breeding pairs! So much for the excess deer populations. Which coincidentally have crashed over the last two years.
