Two mountain lion sightings reported at Odessa's Comanche Trail Park


Quote:
ODESSA, TX (KWES) -
Two mountain lion sightings at Odessa's Comanche Trail Park have Odessa police warning residents.

Odessa Animal Control added that they found tracks and paw prints that possibly belong to a mountain lion.

We're told that there are several acres of undeveloped land that could possibly harbor mountain lions as a food source.

As a result, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will be heading to Comanche Trail Park in an attempt to locate the mountain lion.

Police are reminding citizens to keep their pets secured and be mindful when they allow their children to roam and play.

If you come into contact with a mountain lion, you're encouraged to call Odessa Animal Control at (432) 333-3641.

Here are some safety tips from authorities regarding mountain lions:
•Don't approach a mountain lion. Most mountain lions will try to avoid confrontation.
•Do not run from a mountain lion. Running may stimulate a mountain lion's instinct to chase.
•Do not crouch down or bend over.
•Do all you can to appear larger.
•Fight back if attacked.

No surprise. That's prime lion country.


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

I don't buy it. I'm betting on a big short tail cat.

"...mountain lions as a food source..."

I'm not quite sure what that means.

There are THF members from that area that may be interested. You don't have to worry about it...I don't think there has ever been any OT only poster killed by a mountain lion.

I saw a mountain lion just outside Odessa once. There is probably a bunch of them.

It's a typo. Ever since prices took a dump, I heard cougars were out looking for their next meal ticket not mountain lions.

I believe you.
There is a thread in the Hunting Section now. About Black-Bears.
I have seen tracks only.. Have had family members and Racnh-Hands. Seen-
VERY-FEW. Over the last 20 years.
North of Vealmore Tx. Borden County, Scurry County.
Fact is. Some feller about called me a Liar. In the Thread on Bears.
Saying no bears ever seen this far north.
Go look yourself.
Post your sighting.

In the early 2000s, I had a lease in Mason County that had at least one mountain lion on it. It left trees with unbroken deep claw marks from the ground to over eight feet high. The area was between Mason and Junction.

Thanks for the post Dogcatcher, always well informed by your posts. Some folks are just complainers and NAYSAYERS!
