Tell me what I encountered
recurve shooter:
no clue. dont sound like a bobcat or linx or anything. i was thinking a young mountian lion to, but liveing in south louisiana where the only other predators are gators, i wouldnt know.
about the other expert hunters, i know what you mean. when i was younger i used to hunt on property where i wasnt supposed to be. (yeah i know, not smart. thats why i dont do it any more) more than a dozen times i have been sneakin along and heard men or 4wheelers comeing. jist take a knee, lean into a tree and dont look at em. had people pass 10 feet from me and not know it.

Must have been a young lion. If it was that small momma must have been close. :o How do you feel about being watched while you think you are doing the watching. :o This time of year even the young ones are getting pretty descent sized too. But the lions out there are considerably smaller than they are here.

said it before,i'll say it again
youn lion
our dnr has denied for years that we had mtn lions here in mn
untill recently theyve been getting away with it too,untill a motorist hit one and reported it.
i seen road kill one about 5 yrs back,out on a cty road.
we had a sighting in a cty park right on the edge of twon about 3 yrs back,people were finding tracks and scat on regular basis.
a couple of joggers even seen it,and reported it.
now that the dnr cant deny it any longer,they report more and more sightings every week
the population of them is getting bigger up in northern mn.
just this morning on the radio they were talking about numerous sightings just the other day.
in several parts of the state.one person even had a horse malled by one.
any place that has an abundance of deer,could quit possibly have mtn lions too.

Yes I know what you mean ,just got my email back from are conservation department . They agreed that it wasnt know Bob cat . And whent on to state that it was probably a feral house cat and that young lions are not that color .[look of the front shoulders somebody been shooting ithat cat with steroids]Then emailed me the cfr codes as to why it is ilegal to shoot mt lions in the state of Mo they also did state that there has been confirmed citings for several years and then missed a year . They did state it was about time for another citeing. They also sent a story of a hunter who shot a deer decided to wait until morning to track it . Morning came found his deer ,half eaten called the Mo Dept of Conservation they sent there Mt Lion task force out and they confirmed the wounded deer was killed by a Mt lion and half ate.
