Our most unusual and exciting visitor is one that is mostly rumor, and that's the mountain lion. Nebraska has only recently been known to have some of these creatures. I haven't seen one in person, but there's been some fairly convincing evidence that they're around.
My brother saw a mountain lion in his neck of the woods a couple of years ago at very close range. The sighting was unconfirmed by the G & P as it rained hard shortly after "they" saw it, this included my brothers friend who is a local vetrenarian. My brother actually walked into the grass patch it disappeared into an jumped it up along a fence line from a distance of 20-30ft.
Hey Bruce, have I ever mentioned the "Big White Hairy thing" that a number of my friends claim they saw below the dam a Yankee Hill one night while fishing after dark on a full moon. I was there at the time but was still in the parking lot while they headed down to the lake, all three of them came back very quickly looking white as ghost. This was twenty years ago, to this day they swear up and down the "big white hairy thing" was 7ft tall and walking on two legs.
Just so everyone knows, Yankee Hill Lake is near Denton, not far from the Condello BG ranch.
