I HAVE HUNTED MOUNTAIN LIONS ALL MY LIFE {41 YEARS}. NOTHING IS TOO MUCH FOR THEM! I HAVE ONLY BEEN THROUGH OKLAHOMA A FEW TIMES BUT THE FACT THAT THE CAT HAD DEER MEAT IN ITS BELLY SHOWS THAT OKLAHOMA HAS A PLACE FOR LIONS ,AND MUCH LIKE HUMANS THE YOUNG MALES ARE ALWAYS SEARCHING FOR A PLACE OF THEIR OWN, WHERE THE GRASS IS NOT ONLY GREENER BUT POSSIBLY ALWAYS GREEN.
I HAVE HUNTED IN NEVADA, AND KNOW OF MALE LIONS WITH THEIR OWN TERRITORY ALREADY SET THAT HAD A RANGE OF 70- 80 MILES NORTH- SOUTH, AND 40- 50 MILES EAST AND WEST.
HERE IN NEW MEXICO ONE MALE LION CAPTURED IN THE WHITE SANDS STUDY NEAR LAS CRUCES WAS RELEASED IN THE VERY NORTHERN PART OF THE STATE, AND WITHIN DAYS HAD RETURNED TO HIS HOME RANGE TO NEVER LEAVE AGAIN UNTIL HIS DEATH.
TRULY AMAZING ANIMALS! THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HUNTING THEM. I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD STILL BE TOUGH ENOUGH TO HAVE GOTTEN ON THIS ONES TRAIL, AT THE BEGINING OF HIS JOURNEY AND STAYED WITH HIM THOUGH! I HAVE A COUPLE OF HOUNDS THAT PROBABLY WOULD HAVE. SOMETIMES I LOSE TRACKING RANGE OF THEM ALSO. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I FOUND MY ONE DOG ICE 3 DAYS AFTER HE WAS RELEASED ON A LARGE MALE LION STILL TREED APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES FROM THE STARTING SPOT.
