Up until 2018 you could not carry any type of gun when bow hunting. But after I found Mt Lion tracks in one food plot I started taking my pistol with me. No matter what the law said. They changed that law in 2018. Bad ass cat!

If we had big cats (not just bobcats), getting into the stand in the morning and out at night would be more interesting...

I have only seen one in the wild here. It was walking down the center of the road one early morning. One jump and it was gone. I believe it was a young cat for it to be walking down the center of the rd and for me to get so close to it before it realized I was there behind him. I thought it was so unusual I contacted the fish and game to report what I saw. They told me there were more out there than people thought there were. The tracks I found in my food plot were so big I took a pic of the tracks and then had to look up on the web to then find out they were lion tracks. That is when I started carry my pistol when walking to and back from my stands. I was talking to one of my neighbors down the rd and he told me his brother had seen a cat couple of times over the past few years. Pat I bet if you ck with your local fish and game you will find out they are closer to you than you might think.

Tracy...of course an attack would be rare...but I've wondered if mountain lion are ever around our place...probably not. One of my favorite things is to go back in the woods over-looking my neighbors beautiful pasture and sit on my ATV and take a "cat-nap". I thought if a mountain lion jumped me napping on my ATV, even if i had a gun...there would probably be zero time to react. A very good friend of mine used to sometimes see mountain lions at night up around Muenster, Texas on the Tx/Ok border. He said he was sitting at a stock tank one night in camo...shined a spotlight across the small pond and saw two sets of very large cat eyes...probably waiting for deer..he said it was a bit unsettling realizing they were that close and he had no idea.

Capnap outside never heard of it but my wife would be down to try that. Dont sound like a bad idea anyway. My guess is they will try to stay away from machinery like that.

Turkey hunting in So. Ca. Walked in to this area in the dark, on a 2-track fire lane, dirt was soft due to moisture. Didn't see a thing but on the walk back out there were Mt. Lion tracks on top of our footprints from walking in.........

Zep, that is one large cat pictured in the info u posted. One thing that I saw that was pointed out in the video. The cat I saw was at dawn and the other thing was it's small head in comparison to it's body size. And it said not likely to see one east of I35. My sighting was about 20 miles due south of Shreveport and my place where I saw the tracks and my neighbors two different sightings were 30 miles west of Shreveport.

Scott, the same thing happened to me elk hunting in Colorado.

We get them on my place on occasion. The GW told me last year that a female raised a litter in the area around Amon Carter lake.

Never seen one on my game cams.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
