We saw one at the El Escondido Ranch close to Freer about 10 years ago on a night hog hunt!

If I ever saw one I would probably just think it was a feral cat. My daughters house cat is 17 pounds, about the size of a larger jaguarundi, but a bigger head.

I saw two while bow hunting about 40 miles west of Freer. That was in 1993 and I had no idea what they were until I showed the local rancher the tracks and described them.

If you're in the Hill country and think you've seen one, it probably wasn't one. Their ranges are south Texas into Ole Mexico...They look like a larger house cat with longer tail and finer fur like a panther.

My grand pa who was born in 1910 used to tell us about them back in the day and referred to the as "wild cats". Guess the reason for folks not mentioning any citings on jaguarundi and ocelots was due to the Feds coming in an taking the land so as to protect them.
MAGA!

Isnt that an East Tx critter? 
Recently got a gym membership, strange folks! I like to show up the roid zombies with my full motion curls with the 55lb. bells. Not their cheater short stroked light weights. It's holarious.

Saw one in Duval County years ago hunting with my first wife. This one was black or near black in color. She thought it was a monkey with that long curled tail. Pretty neat critters.
