Cougar Killed in Cimmaron County

[264Magnum]

I recently saw a baby black panther dead on the side of the road though. Probably weighed about 2 lbs. Started to pick it up and post a pic, but nobody would believe me. Looked just like a black cat, but I'm confident it was a baby black panther.

Now that's comedy!

There have been confirmed mountain lions in Ok.
Just a few years ago a train killed one in Noble county.
The Witchita mountains has a breeding colony according to the Daily Oklahoman. We have that article posted on our bulletin board at work.
Very few confirmed sightings/kills.

Bobcats can make a scream that will make the hair on your head stand up.

I had dinner with the game warden tonight and he said it was 175 lbs and is a Boone and Crockett lion. He said the CO houndsmen asked the OK warden if they could run it because the rancher had seen it. The warden told them they could not run it. They ran it anyway and killed it and gave it to the rancher after killing it. He says it was not a depredation issue. I'm sure more info will come out as the case progresses.

Yes, you can't just blast them on sight. They have to meet the qualifications stated in the ODW regs.

Mountain lions can be taken year-round when committing or about to commit depredation or when deemed a nuisance, safety or health hazard.

That didn't meet those regs unless the rancher can show where livestock have been taken or harrased, or his family has been endangered.

Somebody has a lot of talking to do.

Oh for crying out freakin' loud.

God forbid a game warden enjoy his job, and smile in a picture of a case he just wrapped up.

Maybe you should send your resume to the ODWC? You could train all the wardens how to hate their jobs and never smile. Might be hard, since most of them take the job because they enjoy it. I'm sure you can handle it though, your bitterness is bound to rub off on them.

Eeeaaasssyyy there. I'm really not bitter, pessimistic, or hard to get along with. Maybe I don't project myself very will in type.
I'm just saying he looks pretty thrilled to be holding an illegal animal. He could have expressed the size just as well on on a tailgate, on a bale of hay, with a rifle laying beside it or whatever. I personally wouldn't want to be in the picture at all, I don't think many ordinary people would either.

I know you are being sarcastic but, if not. I have seen either the same one or 2 of them at different times in the skiatook area north of town off in the hills.
