Oil Creek west branch part II

Decided to give Oil Creek another try today..
Went to a spot in Centerville we call the Potato patch..
When I got there the stream was so muddy you could not safely wade as visibility was 1 foot...We have had no measurable rain in a couple weeks so it can't be run off..The creek really looked nasty..here's a pic..
 

 

 

 
Didn't see any reason for it to be so bad.....
 
So I left and headed over to a section of Oil Creek I haven't fished before.
Drove to the end of the road and walked in about a mile so I could fish upstream.
Picked up a couple bows, missed another nice Palomino and a whole load of creek chubs...
 

 

 

 

 
 
Sorry not many stream pictures as they got lost in the mad shuffle to try and get the camera set to video..
 
This is where the adventure gets real interesting and I really am half afraid to tell as I will be accused of eating the wrong shrooms or smoking the "PEACY" pipe a little too much..
 
As I finished my walk up out to the old dirt road, I look down the road toward where the truck is parked.
I am about 120 yards away and see what appears to be a large coyote sitting in the road in the clearing where the truck is.
It looks to be facing away from as it is hard to see with the sun..
 
I proceed to walk down the road and get 50 yrds closer with no movement from the critter..
Now (late as usual) I try to get my camera out and set it to vid and get some footage of it..
Well I got to pushing the wrong buttons and didn't get it to work fast enough..
As I was messing with the camera now only 75 yards from the critter it stands up sees me and turns to go into the woods..
 
It turns out this was not a yote at all but a juvenile Mountain Lion..
He swung his almost 3 foot tail around like a ****ed of cat will do and jumped into the brush...
 
There is no mistaking I was able to look right at the cat, it was a small cat maybe 50-60 pounds..
His tail was as long as his body..
 
Kinda freaked me out and still has me questioning myself, but it was in the open and I'm not blind..
 
I'm sure now I'll be known at that crazy cat Kook, and any street cred I might have had is gone but I saw what I saw and it weren't no Fischer..
 
 

Pork, I've been one to call almost allcat stories here in PA bunk..
I shall be a humble man and eat my crow samich...

Bings, I too have been one to fly the BS flag on most alleged cat sighting here in PA......until I recently saw pics from a friends trail cam.
 
Coming from you I would also believe.........

 

I saw three this morning right outside my bedroom window... 

Come on guys the PGC says there are no cougars in PA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have to belive them right ?
I actually talked to a Game warden out in the Poconos a few years back and he told me that we have them, he has seen them, but they are not allowed to mention it publically.Whats the big deal, people won't freak out if we have a small populations of them. They are known to attack hikers, joggers etc... But so do bears..... 

I was on the northern end of cemetery road just out of Riceville..
 
The muddy part of the creek was on the Centerville road headin toward Spartansburg, what we used to call the Potatoe patch...

The mountain lions are around, not in large numbers...yet. Wait til the young male cats start going out to mark their territories closer to human populations.
 
If the game commission denys there aren't any...Shoot one and see what fine ya get. But wait how can they fine you if there isn't any?

awwwwwwwwww post the pic i would like to see and the hell with what everyone else thinks
