HomeMountain lion sighting in Barkhamsted
Saturday 7/30/11 afternoon, came across a mountain lion in the back of my property approximately 30 feet away. It was laying in tall brush before getting up and walking in the opposite direction. Have seen many black bear pass through my property but never a mountain lion till now. I have German shepards and the lion was about the size of my female @ 110lbs. There are definitely mountain lions in Ct.

Saw what I can only describe as Mtn. Lion earlier today just north of Bark. Res. crossing road….looked to be approx. 4 ft. or so with longer tail….definately not a bobcat….I only got to within about 60 or so yards before it went into heavy woods/brush….I’ve heard too many eyewitness reports from reliable sources and now this….top of food chain…..
