Mountain Lion seen (and photographed) in Rogers County

[MrShooter]

I’ve seen two in person. First one was about 10 years ago in (Hughes county) Spaulding on my 160 acres. My grandfather and I were walking a brush trail and I turned left to over look a pond. Saw an adult mountain lion on the other side raising his head from a drink and made eye contact with me from about 60 yards. He turned slowly and calmly and walked back into the thick timber... we move our asses straight back to the truck (somewhat calmly lol). Since then I’ve also found tracks and there was a sighting at the school in Calvin, OK just a few miles away a few months back.

Second one was last year leaving my sister in laws house in (Washita County) Cordell. We were about 5 minutes out of downtown on hwy 152 and the tractors running at night must have pushed the cat out towards the road as it ran around 20 yards ahead of us across the highway as we were driving 50mph. It almost got ran over but I recall the nice long strides it made as it went into the ditch and under another fence.

I once read about a boy and his two Redbone Coonhounds getting attacked by a mountain lion in that general region of the state. The dogs fought off the lion and the boy wasn’t hurt. Both dogs died shortly after.

I see what you did there....

See them pretty regularly at the Gruber ORV area.

You guys are smoking some good stuff, I meant to say medicinal plants. There is not Mountain Lion in Oklahoma the game warden told me so.

I saw one a couple of years ago crossing Osage Drive, near 36th St. North, just 4 miles NW of downtown Tulsa. I have a friend NW of Seminole who has a trail cam pic of a mountain lion grabbing a raccoon who was eating from a corn feeder.

There are black Panthers here, I saw one back in the early 90s

That's probably the one they caught near Pine and Union a couple doors down from one of my rent houses. It was in the paper.

The mountain lion I saw was in 2017. The pine and union cat was in 2011 from what I found. There was a lady who claimed to have seen one around 56th St N. in 2017.

One crossed the highway (70) in front of me a few miles S/E of Ardmore, about 10 years ago.
