[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3930503, member: 5412"] The lion came from South Dakota. It had a tracking collar on it. The lion was hit by one of our coal trains when I worked at OG&E Sooner Power plant near Marland. It was a young male likely driven south by territorial males according to the ODW. I elk hunted for about 12 years on a ranch in New Mexico where there was a hunting season on mountain lions. The ranch had outfitters hunting them for a couple of years with tracking dogs. I talked to the Owner that was in his 90’s about how many times he had seen mountain lions. His reply was never. He had seen the tracks in the snow, but never an actual lion. Also asked his grandson that lived on the ranch as well as the hired hand that had been around for years. Neither had ever put an eyeball on a live mountain lion. This is why I’m so skeptical when folks in Oklahoma claim to see them weekly. There are a lot of things that may resemble a mountain lion in the darkness or backlit by the sun, but if you have ever seen the track of a mountain lion and compared it to your hand, your hand would look very small. Like the owner of that ranch, I’ve seen the tracks one time. [/QUOTE]
