Great pics, I'm always hopeful that I'll catch a lion on one of my cameras. I'm just north of Tyler, TX along I-20 and one of my neighbors is a pilot with his own airport. One day a couple years ago he was inspecting his plane before going for a flight and he saw a mountain lion watching him from a brush pile at the edge of his runway. He walked over to his barn, got his rifle and shot it. From what he said, it was over a hundred pounds and they had been seeing tracks for years, but this was the first time ever seeing it.

I'm on a new lease in Erath County this year and have been wondering if there are any around. It would be cool to get pics of one, but on the other hand it may make the walk to the blind a little different. There was one shot in the southern part of the county last year.

My parents live outside of Tucson near the base of Mt. Lemon. The mountain range behind them is loaded with cougars, to the point that they're starting to encourage people to hunt them. They did a count and were expecting like 10 and got 40, and it's a pretty small range. They also tried to reintroduce mountain sheep and they were all killed within a month by cougs. They're starting to show up close to town, so it's probably time to dial the population down a bit.

Cool pics, love big cats.

Personally I don't care where it's from, pictures of lions are always cool. But, with the info provided without the actual cat pics, you can't blame folks for assuming the cats were in Texas.


I thought that too till I saw the saguaros.

To clarify I live in central Texas I am on a hunt in Az.The tracks are north of Tucson, I didnt relize I conveniently omitted location I thought I was just sharing a cool pic.

I could not tell the pics did not come out as clear when in the field from my iphone as I would have liked. I was using my hand as a size referance because the tracks were near the same size as it is without the thumb and fingers, which measures a bit over three & a half inches square.



The Track in that picture looks about a inch narrower than it was if you look close that is still part of it under the little nickle sized rock to the right. Here is another

Don't worry about the nay sayers. Not everyone will hold your feet to the fire looking for proof of the truth. I have no reason to believe you are fabricating a lie or that you were attempting to fool people into a story that these pics were taken in Texas.

Great pics, thanks for sharing. First pic, "Looks good kids, come out for a drink." Second pic, "Lap, lap, lap...Mmmm good water!" Third pic, "Hey! Where'd Mom go?" Fourth pic, "I'm over here, about to eat this camera."

Great follow-up pics and info. No one ever doubted that lions exist, just those bad pics claiming to be lion tracks. I for one never said anything about them being canine. Would have cleaned up this thread from the get go with all the info that was pieced in as it went. Thanks for sharing the pics, finally. grin
