I couldnt figure out where to post this question and I figured here would be good!

Im living in SW PA and I took my dogs out the other night with the wife. Well, lets back up. My dad has a nest of baby hawks right off his back porch. I jokingly said he should make a stand and put some meat on it for the hawks. That goof ball put beef fat trimmings on it.

So my wife and I get home later and take the dogs out. I always go out with my Glock model 40 (10mm) and a headlamp. The neighbor got trail cam footage of a cub and also a Fisher. I know I know...but Game and Fish confirmed it was a Fisher because he sent the picture to them. They were amazed.

Anywho. I shined my light out the back way and I saw his stand with meat on it and I mentioned it to the wife. 30 seconds later I scanned the woods and I see eyes. Normally its deer but I know their greeny/yellowy eyes. These were blue/purplish. And whatever this was, it only blinked twice and never looked away for 5 solid minutes. The 2 blinks it did were very slow and I could see its eye lids closing and then opening back up. Deer will break a stare and then look back. This thing DID NOT disengage. This says predator to me. It was hard to judge distance and height, but it appeared the eyes were about 6-7" apart based on the size of the eyes whick looked about quarter to half dollar in size. I also threw 3 seperate rocks and they had to have hit right around it. Nothing, not a blink or look away.

Based on the fact there was meat out there filling the night air I also assumed predator. We ran into the house, grabbed a plastic bag and bleach and removed the meat and sprayed his post down. We dont want predators thinking they can get free meals here!

Any idea what in the heck it could have been?

I thought that. It was pretty low to the ground, but I couldnt tell exact height. They typically attack from higher branches, but could have been on the ground with a catch. Owls are reddish orange eyes though.

I did have a bluish tinted streamlight on. My wife said she swears they were gold. I was looking straight on, she was off to the side. Reflected differently. It was the other behaviors that got me.

Sounds like a cat.
Thats what I was thinking. My brain went wild with the question, how big?! In my mind I was being stared down by a mountain lion. I had just read the post on here about one being in OH and I thought just maybe 🤣🤣🤣 They appeared to be too far apart to be a Bobcat.

Its really dark where Im at now and I dont like the wife going out at night by herself. If that was running around she wouldn't let me go outside by myself....ever.

Sasquatches, like humans and primates, do not have the material in the backs of their eyes. Already checked 🤣

Funny thing is...when we first moved in, there was a 12 foot straight branch that was leaned on the tree right next to my truck one morning. I find it hard to believe it fell from the tree and landed propped up the way it was, almost straight up and down. It is reported that sasquatches use trees and branches like this to communicate. I told my wife I think she might have a boyfriend. Maybe they would make more sense to each other because sometimes she doesnt make sense to me.

Westmoreland County does rank very high for the supernatural sightings. The people here do appear very inbred, so the 2 probably go hand in hand!
