[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 2605357, member: 15643"] Not a camping story but a felt like I was being watched story. About 15 years ago I was trapping a new property in NW OK, this was before the recent oil production in that area, so when it was dark out, it was dark. No oil and gas well lights every quarter of a mile for as far as you could see, the horizon used to be dark in every direction. I'd been sitting a trap line and was about to finish up, when I went down into a nasty draw full of timber and washouts. It looked really catty, and I had a bout 20 minutes until dark. So I blunder in and start deciding where to lay out some steel, as I wander farther down into draw I started to smell cat pee, and it got stronger and stronger, this is not a normal in bobcat territory. So i'm thinking mt. lion, but telling myself no at the same time. The whole time I was in that draw it was eerie, wind was howling so it was hard to hear anything around you, washout ledges all around you up above, set my traps and got out of there. Never found any big cat tracks in there though, but it smelt like that every time I went in there. The next year and there after, no smell. [/QUOTE]
