[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 882246, member: 14544"] Well if my email hadn't been cleaned out last year, I could show you pictures a lady took from her kitchen of a lion starring in the house on the back porch. She is about 15 miles from our farm. Guess I'm one of those crazy guys, cause I've seen 3 of them over the years. Could have shot one as I was deer hunting when I was 17, but the idea of paying the large fine or jail time, just didn't seem to justify the ability to prove I saw one. Saw another one several years later driving about 45 minutes from the farm- he/she was crossing the highway again the following night and my cousin saw it as well. But then never again. Father in law saw one as well about 8 years ago. It's funny that the wildlife department denies that they exist here until either a picture pops up or someone shoots one. Then they are more than happy to prosecute. I was in school at OSU when a ranger was there speaking about something. I asked him about a recent event at the time and he said we had no cougars in Oklahoma. I asked him about some killed on the road and seen in Western Oklahoma. He then admitted to one being seen and photographed at Canton, but then said that it was out there almost to New Mexico. Huh? Last I knew Canton was only 85 miles west of Stillwater (which is on the eatern side of the state) and is about 280 miles from the New Mexico boarder. Why can't the wildlife department just admit they exist in low numbers, but they are there? [/QUOTE]
