Mountain Lion Attack Hoax?

October 23, 2008

–An Amish man in Pennsylvania reported that he shot a mountain lion, and was injured by a second mountain lion while tracking it.

The Pennsylvania Game Commission, however, says that there’s no evidence to support the Lancaster County man’s claim.   Crime lab tests showed that a supposed blood trail wasn’t even blood…and a knife that the man contends that he used to fight with the mountain lion has deer hair on it.   A search of the area showed no evidence of mountain lion hair, feces, or tracks.

There hasn’t been a confirmed sighting of a wild mountain lion in Pennsylvania for more than a century…
