Does anyone know the reason NH F&G is being so wierd about admitting that there are big cats in NH? I have heard the same story about F&G discrediting people with cat sightings for years now.
Because then the feds would declare it to be endangered in the east, resulting in restrictions on land use.
Fish and Game goes too far in saying there are no mountain lions here, he told an audience of about three dozen people, and for understandable reasons.
If Fish and Game said yes, it would have to come up with a management plan, the cats would have to be protected and “elements of the hunting population” would object, Erler said.
Saying there are mountain lions in New Hampshire, Erler said, would “create a hornets’ nest I wouldn’t want to step into.”
But Eric Orff, a retired wildlife biologist with Fish and Game who kept track of sighting reports for 30 years, said all reports proved to be false, and if there have ever been any of the animals on the loose, they were escapees from private owners.

This, it really would be a nightmare for the residents to declare that they are here. I am more than happy to let the NHF&G tell us that officially there are no mountain lions in NH, I don't need their validation to confirm something I know is true

What's up with NH fish and game? Are they stupid or power hungry?
I don't understand why cougars always make the news, what are the threats they pose?

Who the **** still uses a 35mm camera?
LOL THIS!
But really would would happen if you were to spot and kill one?
And as far as the picture goes, it's so shitty it almost looks fake but who knows.....
I'm sure that Fish & Game would find something to charge you with.
That would be my guess.Poaching perhaps, theres no open season and you dont have a tag for one.
Yup.SSS.
