Related to that; I was having lunch in a 99 right before Xmas and sat next to an overly talkative older gentleman. Somehow got on the topic of jobs and he explained he worked with fish and game as a cat expert. I jokingly said, you mean the mountain lions! He went on for 5 mins about how there are mountain lions that come into NH from Canada but they don’t have a strong population. He swore they were tracking a male mountain lion that was currently living on the NW side of Lafayette etc and that they won’t admit it because they will have to change how they manage things etc.. Convincing story, certainly not impossible but unlikely. Made for an interesting lunch nonetheless

I've heard similar stories before, so I'd believe it. They're known to travel great distances. When one is actually confirmed here they'll say it was just migrating through, because that's how they get around changing things after denials stop working.

But, likely not what OP heard in the woods, haha.
