Sodas Man, Cougar Sighting Most Likely Coyote

Concerns were raised after recent dead deers and the paw prints were in the same area.

After an investigation the DEC determined it was a mistaken identity, and the paw prints were likely of a coyote.

Back in 2011 there was a report of a cougar sighting that traveled through New York and was killed in Connecticut after being hit by a car.
