Cougars in Oklahoma.

[kansascitysooner]

Just getting it started here :)

[sooner59]

The law/animal control had to corner one giving birth 100 yards from my house a while back. The screams sent chills up my spine.

I have also heard of large cats in the area as well. :D:D:D:D:D:D

[OKC-SLC]

SoonerStormchaser? is that you?

[crimsonsooner32]

Saw one south of elk city once... :pop:

[CrimsonKel]

According to that Monsterquest show there's a very active one in the Choctaw area. It even took down a Llama.

[SoonerJack]

Cougar vs Llama in a cage match. BE THERE!!!

[CobraKai]

Now we need some sort of Tulsa Werewolf thread.

[CobraKai]

Or El Chupacabra

[bluedogok]

They have found one in East Texas that they think may be from Southern Oklahoma.....

No. Nor black panthers. Or Bigfeet.

I was only half joking my my first post. Animal control really did catch one 100 yards from my house (Davis, OK). Don't know where it came from, but it was real. I was soberingly surprised. Makes me look over my shoulder when I am hunting now.

[olevetonahill]

I know theres at Least one around My woods

[Fraggle145]

There is one in down there by Lake Texoma in the Enos area.

[sooner59]

I actually think its funny that people swear that they don't exist around here. They actually said the one by my house was a black panther. Didn't see it but I heard it. Don't know what color it was but it had the scream of a cougar/mountain lion/whatever you want to call it.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I don't get that one at all. We used to go fishing quite a bit along the Deep Fork as a kid and we'd hear 'em all the time.

[pphilfran]

Outside of the panhandle there are no known breeding populations in Oklahoma...

In the last 30 years there have only been a handful of confirmed sightings...

Any black panthers have escaped from private game areas...

There's some in Osage and Pawnee counties. I haven't seen them but my mother in law has heard one her ranch and my brother used to see one whilst biking up high in the hills on highway 20 west of Hominy in Osage county.

One of my former golfing buddies (now deceased) was a game warden and used to scoff at the idea but he was hiding the truth.;)

[Chuck Bao]

My uncle saw one in my mom's garden (outside of Madill) about 2 years ago.

My friend and I saw one crossing the Kaw City bridge with a fawn in its mouth. We almost wrecked watching it jump the guard rails with that big hunk of meat dangling from it's mouth. Yikes that last sentence just doesn't sound right. lol

[soonerbrat]

ya know....i might have seen one, though i don't know if they are in the area where I thought I saw something....it was a big animal - bigger than a coyote, and it didn't move like a dog, it was stealthy...I thought maybe it was a bear, but now that i read this, maybe it was a big cat.

[C&CDean]

I'm about 99% sure I saw one on my ranch last year. It was right before dark, and I was riding a 4-wheeler across one of the pastures out back after checking on the cows. I see this animal running at a pretty high rate of speed, and I stop to look closer. It's running 3/4s away from me and at first I thought it was a coyote - but it was much longer than a coyote. Then I thought "dang, that thing moves like a cat...bobcat that big?" About that time I see this long tail - maybe 3-4 feet long - whipping out behind it. It was gone into the woods in maybe another second or two.

Around that time I lost 2 newborn calves. No evidence of anything. Little suckers were just gone. If pack dogs get them you'll find a carcass. If coyotes get them they'll disappear too, but that's pretty rare. To lose 2 on successive days is VERY rare.

[stoopified]

Dated a cougar when I was 22,she was a hawt 36.

[stoopified]

OMG,it just occurred to that my cougar(Lita) is 64 now.I'm gettin old.

[Zbird]

Saw one in Roman Nose State Park probably 20 years ago, crossing the road between wooded areas near the camping area one summer. Little kids running around less than 50-60 yards away.

[OUmillenium]

Down around Fletcher, about 3 miles northeast there is one or more. My buddy and I were "haulin hay" back in my college days and I heard it loud and clear in the treeline. I sprinted about 10 yards faster than the speed of light and jumped in the truck. The big cat had given a Predator type growl. This was easily the most scary moment of my life. It was late evening and the sun was almost down. Talk about "getting chills" or the "hair standing up on the back of your neck"...yikes.

His grandfather had seen it on multiple occasions.

Where is your ranch? General area or city, don't have to be that specific.

Around Lexington

[en4cer]

Saw one around the Canton Lake area last year. It was a big'un and more grey in color than anything. There was one killed in the Seiling area a while back. Dumb*** bragged about it at the barbershop. Cost him $10,000, his pickup, and rifle. I predator hunt on a regular basis. What I saw that day was a mountain lion. No doubt they're here.

[StoopTroup]

I hunted down in between Kiowa and Adair and I promise you the tracks I'd see down there were huge and that of a cougar. I don't care what any Internet sight says because I know what I saw.

[jumperstop]

You can't say ****? Ok, Bring on the "Mothers I would Love Fornicating with"!!

[SoonerNate]

No Cougars here. Just alligators and panthers.

[jdsooner]

I was driving back to Snyder from Burns Flat and just as I was leaving Sentinel, I saw something standing in the road ahead. I thought it was a big dog, then I thought it was a calf, and then I saw the long tail. It was a mountain lion. In the car behind me, my future wife was driving home with the cheerleaders. One cheerleader said in a matter of fact voice, "There's a mountain lion." The others responded: "A MOUNTAIN LION!!" The weird thing is that when you see it, you can't believe you're really seeing it.

[reevie]

Ada is full of them

[tcrb]

Hell, I thought this thread was gonna have pichers of hawt middle age women.

[tator]

OMG,it just occurred to that my cougar(Lita) is 64 now.I'm gettin old.
