J. WARREN JACOBS, Wayensburff. Green County: 



Wildcats are very rare; two have been recorded ^lere during 

 the past ten years. 



JACOB B. MEIXEL, Cumberland County: 



Wildcats do serious damage to Pheasants, and I have knuwn 

 them to kill fox hounds in a chase. I favor a bounty to be 

 paid by the county. 



X. H. PARKER. McKean County: 



The Wildcat is too wild and wary to visit residences much, 

 but occasionally takes a goose, chicken, or a turkey. Subsists 

 mainly on game in the woods; Rabbits and occasionally a young 

 Deer. 



A. P. BREWER, McKean County: 



Wildcats are quite plentiful in some localities. They do a 

 great deal of damage to Pheasants and sometimes to chickens 

 and turkeys. I never knew them to kill lambs. 



MERION E. KEMERER, Carbon County: 



Wildcats are numerous In some parts of our county, espec- 

 ially in the Pine Swamp. They destroy all kinds of poultry 

 and much game. I favor a liberal bounty for their destruc- 

 tion. 



C. W. DICKINSON, McKean County: 



Wildcats are common here. They live chiefly on small game 

 such as birds. Partridges (Grouse), Rabbits and sometimes 

 they attack larger game. I never knew one to attack a per- 

 son and I have killed lots of them. I have seen where Wild- 

 cats have killed a full grown deer. Three times in my life 

 I have known of Wildcats killing Deer. I have known Wild- 

 cats to kill sheep and poultry. I am in favor of placing a 

 bounty of three dollars on the Wildcat or Catamount. 



TUNIS SMITH, Wayne County: 



Wildcats are plentiful. They destroy poultry but are most 

 destructive to game and small wild birds. From personal ob- 

 servation have never known them to kill Deer, but have no 

 doubt that they do destroy many, for while hunting Deer I 

 have seen where they have followed them for miles. Have 

 never known them to kill sheep or lambs, luit I do know of
