More mountain lions are settling in the Midwest, study shows

I have heard of several sightings in Oklahoma over the past few years and a number sightings in my area. Also could mention the black bears and alligators that have also been seen in SE Oklahoma.

It's because of our low cost of living and relatively stable job market.

I have seen a gator out in the Broken Bow area at a local pond/lake. I have no clue how it got there.

Could it be that the DOW releases a breeding pair along the Cimmeron river every year?

Anyone else remember this story?

I remember hearing about the cat being killed near Minco but not that it had been "traced" to South Dakota. The story also noted that the one found in a back yard in N.Tulsa was also from SD.

We got lots of cats now days in the sw part of the state. We've had some pets killed around here n stuff...and lots of legit sightings and tracks. They have a pretty big range too....so give'm a couple of years and you'll see even more.

I think its global warming and the stock market... : )

My dad saw what he believes is one. It was over 10 yrs ago north of Hominy on a family friends property. He said their dogs went snakeshit about something out running through the field. He said he could see a feline like figure with a tail, but with the grass being so tall he couldn't make a positive I'd.
