[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1339074, member: 5412"] It might sound stupid to you but I've also heard this before. Wether there is any truth to it, I guess we'll never know. The first time I heard this was in 1998. I was hunting in Watonga on the river during muzzloading season. Early one morning I saw something I never seen before. A huge cat the color of a dear walking 100 yards from me. When I pulled the binocs up I notice a log tail damn near dragging the ground. The next month I seen it, or another one, again on some property adjacent to the previous sighting. There was no misjudging this from a bobcat. So I called the land owner and described to him what I had seen twice now and he told me to be careful because there had been several sightings. He then called the game warden to tell him that I had seen them also. The game warden in turn told him that was ridiculous and that there was no mt. lions in Oklahoma. Drew, the landowner asked him what would happen if we dropped one off on his door step and he said we would be taken to jail. He said if we did happen on to this make beleive creature in Oklahoma and shoot it, we better let it lie where it dies. Last year in Custer City the wildlife deparment verified that there were Mt. lions in town. A boy in town had been bottle feeding calves and two came up dead and looked like a masacre.[/QUOTE] Your story is correct about the wildlife department. At that time it was a crime to take a mountain lion. To date that has changed. The wildlife department has had so many calls and investigations of "Mountain lion kills",that it decided to put the lions on a varmint basis. Shoot em as you see em, and let us know........From the date that new law came out, not one track, nor lion problem has been presented to the Wildlife Department. Again, If you see one, take a plaster cast of the print, and call the local GW. [/QUOTE]
