I have seen two mountain lions in Oklahoma. The first was a few years ago just north of El Reno. I was turkey hunting and called in a hen. The lion followed it in.
The 2nd was yesterday afternoon near Wanette. I was down there looking at some land for sale. After leaving the land I was driving down a remote section line road and this cat jumped out of the brush about 1/4 mile ahead and ran down the road in front of me. It finally veered off into the pasture and I stopped when I got there. It was crouch about 25 yards away watching me, then turned and ran.
I've hunted bobcats and knw the difference. This was a lion.
