I saw a mountain lion last night in Grant County as well. I called the local warden today to talk to him about it. He said that they are becoming a real problem in Grant County. They have basically wiped out the deer and pheasant populations. They are afraid that they will become aggressive toward hunters and bird dawgs this winter. There will most likely be an open season on them next year. He said that they think they are coming down from SW Kansas, and that the northern part of Grant County is ideal habitat for them. I think it's a cover up. I think the Wildlife Dept. and some of the locals have put their heads together and released them to cut down on the out of town posers.
Well my hunting buddy was out at one of our old leases in Grant Co. this past weekend. Anyone who knows the area knows its mostly flat and open with scattered thin trees. Well he was sitting in one of my tower stands and had a great buck come down the drainage toward him. He first spotted the deer about 250 yards out and watched the tips of his horns as he walked the drainage his way. He picked out a low area where the deer would come out about 120 yards and waited. Right as the deer came to his shooting lane it just bolted 90 to nothing! Well right behind it came two young Mountain Lions! He said they chased him a little but soon gave up and started wrestling each other for a while before eventually walking off. He said it was an easy 140inch 8pt, and would have had a chip shot if it wasnt for the cats. Well we have hunted that area for almost 8 years and thats a first for us... anyway just a neat little story i though u guy might get a kick out of.
I would like you to give me the name of the GW's that you know in Grant County.
I'm personal friends with both, and could very easily verify your story with a phone call.
Please PM me with their names and I'll do everything I can to back you up.
Hell i guess im all sorts of poser!
one of them lives 3 miles from one of our leases.... I guess i could just ask him next time i go by
