and shoot a mountain lion in Alabama, even though it could be illegal (I don't know), just to prove they exist in Bama. I've never seen one here before, but would like help making up my mind just in case I get the opportunity. This is stuff you have to think and prepare for while in between seasons, ya know.

I did not make any effort to shoot the only one I ever saw. He was just too far.

I won't argue with anyone whether or not they're here but I've been in the woods since I was old enough to walk and I can tell you exactly what one looks like at 30 yards in October. He may have been an escapee from a pen but if I'd have had a little more daylight he would've been a dead creature.

Near Parches Cove?


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Last year during turkey season I was Hunting my property one morning. A county roads splits my place. Fields and bottoms on one side, one field and the rest mountains on the other. I was in the bottoms in a field listening for birds. By nine I hadn't done any good so I decided to go to the mountains. When I got into the corn field below the mountian I made a bee line toward the timber, I didnt want to get caught in the field by a long beard so I was humpin it across this field. Something made me look to my right. There was something standing in the field at 150 yards from me in the corn stubble. At first I thought coyote. It was moving towards the mountain but as I watched it I knew it wasn't a coyote. Too small and the walk wasn't even close to being right. Then I thought pit bull. It's face was rounded like towards the front. But no that wasn't it. Still too small and the walk still wasn't right. As I watched it, it noticed me and layed down in the corn stubble. so I kneeled down. After five minutes I said to hell with it and I got up. And as soon as I raised up, it did too. It was just standing there looking at me. By this time the hair on my neck was on wide alert. Then this critter started walking right at me. So I slung the 870 off my back and got ready. Then all of a sudden it turned and went in to over drive towards the road, crossed it and I couldn't see it anymore. Scared the crap out of me. It was about a foot and a half higher than the corn stalk stubble, had a rounded face and a long tail that bowed in the middle. And it's shoulders rolled as it walked. And was blonde colored I think, as I'm shade blind, can't tell a lot of color shades apart. It was a lot bigger than a coyote. Well when I got done hunting I went to my mothers, as she lives right beside me, to check on her. I had not mentioned this to her. I kinda forgot about it. All of a sudden she said, did you see that critter in the field this morning? She described it to a T just as I had seen it. She said it was bouncing around like it was trying to catch a rabbit or a rat. I said, what do you think it was? She said "I think it was a mountain lion". What's the odds both of us seeing it and thinking that's what it was, In the same field the same morning only at different times? Im not saying 100% that it was a mountain lion, but I can say 100% that it weren't no coyote. I killed a lot of yotes in my day, none like that. None even close to that big. So to answer your question, yes, I'll mow it down if I ever had the chance.

Very close Wiley. Just on top of the mountain. I have a cast of his track that we found in a logging road the week before I saw him.

I personally don't know, I have a real respect for animals that are living outside where they normally occur, like the black bears that are now making themselves somewhat common here. Hell maybe one day we will have a hunting season for them if they breed enough and people will leave them the hell alone. And I wouldn't dare kill a gator where they don't normally exist like the ones I have seen in Oxford but I will be hunting them in the delta in a couple of weeks. I just have to say this, if I saw a cougar where I hunt, I just don't know if I would feel very comfortable walking through the woods in the dark where I know there is an animal that is known for being a sneaky bastard and attacking prey silently from the rear.

my thoughts exactly. There's a lot of rocks them critters can hide behind in the mountains at my place.

They don't need rocks. They generally hunt from overhanging limbs above game trails. They can leap 15 ft straight up from a stand still. Just for peace of mind, they normally attack their prey by dropping down and biting the back of the neck, instantly breaking the vertebrae, so you'll probably never know what hit you. Happy hunting!

What the hell, ya'll talk like a bunch of bad asses all the time but scared to hunt if there might be a big cat in the woods? Hell I don't quess any of you would of ever settled the country back in the day when there were black bears, grizzlies and wolf and mountain lions everywhere. I quess you would of had to stay home and hide behind your wife's skirt. Where's your sense of adventure, just the idea of a little danger makes it all the more exciting. I quess none of you dream of hunting the west or Alaska much less Africa or somewhere with some really dangerous game!

NO, but if it could be shot with a rifle could it not be shot with a video camera? Just as good proof, maybe better as someone could kill the cougar somewhere else and then say they shot it here.
