There is a lot more lions out there than people are aware of. I would venture to say the number of lions that have watched hunters unknowingly vs hunters watching cats would be mind blowing.
God Bless Texas!!! Godspeed our Military!

I'd love to see one, but have no interest in shooting one. So if you saw one on your inlaws place you wouldn't shoot it due to being an exotic? You know, I always thought a cougar would be the ultimate trophy, especially if you were lucky enough to call it in. And who knows, if I was given the opportunity, I still may shoot one, lol. But after I watched a documentary on tv about them the other day, I've been thinking I'd give em a pass. Seems their mortality rate is dropping fast, and they have a hard enough time living, without hunters shooting them. But then again, why don't our all seeing/knowing government shut it down, if they are in such a decline? Eh, either way, I'm not much of a danger to them anyway. My eyes are bad, my nose is running and my feet are smelling. I'm all messed up. There populations are actually increasing alot and there returning to there once native areas they were shot out of, many states have increased there # of tags and expanded their seasons.

I agree with some of that, after doing a little googling, lol. Their numbers may be on the upswing in Texas. At least they have stabilized. The show I saw was about a study in the Grand Tetons. Here's a little tidbit I thought was interesting. Out of 200 large animal kills in Texas in 2014, not a single one was a domestic animal. But, it did consist of several deer and a lot of hogs. One thing the ranchers are proud of. They hate the big cat.
Mmmm Hmmm

I have two in my shop and can't stand em. They are just for critter control, nothing else. There's no way I could bear hug a big one like that dude ^^^^ Lol
Mmmm Hmmm

There have been at least 2 mountain lions pictures on this forum that were very much dead that came into calls. Give it a try, never know when one might respond. But do not be surprised if they do not respond either.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch
