Well, it’s not a black mountain lion..

"We don't have mountain lions in Oklahoma. But if you kill one, call us."

The ODW hasn't said that in 15 or more years that I know of.

lol, they still say it down this way. More or less in jest for the side-eye giggle. Last time I heard it, it was right before we met the hired gun cat trackers lmao.

10 or 12 years ago I found some tracks on my lease. I took some pics with my cheesy little flip phone using my hand as a size reference. The track was about as big as my palm. The game warden used every excuse in the book. One was that it was a wild dog that had worn its claws down. 2 weeks later a big full page article came out in the paper saying we have them in all 77 counties.

I saw one from a stand several years ago near Little River in Seminole County. About a 1/4 of a mile from where I got game camera pictures of a black bear . . .

Same situation about 12 years ago back home in Pratt Kansas. We seen some tracks, took decent pictures and contacted KDWP. The Game Warden I've known for well over 25 years gave me every excuse in the book. Even claimed people had made the tracks to stir people up. 2 weeks later, local paper posted an article about farmers having day or two old calfs being killed and drug off. Farmer killed one and had it on the tailgate of his truck with the same game warden. Warden was quoted as saying "We have had them for years in this area"

Wondering if they are told to deny everything like the military does?

Mountain lions in Oklahoma = UFOs . . . makes perfect sense.

Is that what's called an Unidentified Furry Object?

When a couple cats got hit by a car (and also a train too if I remember right) they kind of had to step off their company line LOL

Just judging by the height of the animal compared to the fence behind it, that's a house cat. I sure hope their not wasting tax dollars actually looking for it.

Just double checked the original post. This is just a bunch of Edmond cougars worried other cougars are moving in on their turf.
