Had a visitor at the ranch this morning captured on one of my cellular cameras. Looks like this lion may be collared, I'll have to look at the card picture, this is a low resolution picture that was sent to my phone.

Too bad it isn't the illusive black Texas cat that roams!

That is something that I would enjoy seeing in the wild. It does look like it has a collar.

Great picture. With that resolution and with movement, it might just be a shadow instead of a collar.

Looks like just a shadow. there is some shadowing on its back just back from the shoulder as well. Either way you can take the collar off after you shoot it if needed.

Mtn lions are fair game in Texas. Usually not illegal to shoot collared animals, they would like the collar back for the data it collected. Usually have some contact info on them.
