Just because you don’t see the fawns doesn’t mean they aren’t there

great pyrenees leaves a print. Lot of people just turn them out to protect livestock.

I always haul my mountain lion around with me when I go to the lease. That way I always have him when I need him.

Chupacabra most definitely. Known to frequent the area, and like to travel in mud.
You did what?

Thanks Josh,
This was from a 2-3 yo tom, weight at 160 and change. I got the tracks after an outfitter friend at the time put the dogs on the trail, after around 10 miles in a circle, his client took this cat. Age came from his guess and the DOW biologist when he brought him in. They get bigger, he called this a "good to medium" tom.
The track above was on the edge of a dirt road when I found them, probably 5/8 deep cast, normal walk, 0 claws marks. btw, the claw marks are usually more of a "slit" at the tip and dont seem to protrude out as much as a canine, can be pretty deep when the cat needs traction, I wish i'd have taken a haul azz track, Cats general travel mode is a steady walk, canine usually a form of gait. Also consider walking gait foot spread, this cat had over a 36" walking step iirc

I know mountain lions aren't really very vocal but I heard what I took to be a ML on our place in Lee county. I've heard lots of sounds in the woods but that one sent a chill up my spine. You hear stories about lions all over Texas and Lee county is no exception. It could have been, but coons fighting can make a similar sound that’ll leave you wanting to be anywhere else.

The two are not necessarily related. I have seen a bunch of deer tracks and managed to shoot a hog later that night at the same location, LOL.
