Here is a photo of a cougar killed SW of Jet, Oklahoma . The guy who
shot it is 6 foot tall and weighs about 220 lbs. He was in a deer stand
and saw the cat pass him downwind. He then saw it pass him upwind.
When the cat passed him again (closer this time) downwind, he knew that
it was hunting him. So, boom.
After viewing this, do you still feel safe in the woods?

I hate to shoot you down here bro, but according to who you listen to, that thing has been killed in damn near every state in the country.

Here is the real story for you brother!

One Big Cat January 22, 2008 This photo was posted on Trophy Watch in 2003 and again in 2004. It seems the photo has been regaining new life as the email rumor mill starts up again. A few years ago it was rumored to be from Kansas, Iowa, Texas, and Pennsylvania. This time it was taken by a deer hunter in Missouri while it was stalking him in his stand.
The truth is that it was taken in King County, Washington in December 2002 by Roy Hisler with one shot from a .30-06. His partner, Jim Hackewitz, used a varmint call to bring in the big cat – taken within 6 miles of Bellevue, Washington (a major suburb of Seattle). The cougar was accepted into the 25th Big Game Awards at 15-7/16.

But I tell you what. If I saw that thing, I would probably crap my pants before I unloaded my rifle.

Just thought you guys should know that there really are cats that big in Oklahoma!!! At the hunting expo in OKC. last year they had a servay,( if you have spotted a mountain in Oklahoma please post the location on the above map with one of the tacks provided). The map was out of room, due to all of the tacks. A large number of the tacks were locted in the downtown OKC area. I have spent my fair share of time,(all of it if you ask my wife) in the woods hunting in and around Oklahoma and have seen and shot some big cats, one weighing almost 40 lbs. All of wich had short tails and spots. I have some reaaly good hunting stories, but not about mountain lions. Until I see one in Oklahoma im not marking the map. Maybee all of those okc idiots were regarding the big cats at the OKC ZOO. Although I don't think thats what the game wardens had in mind.
