Have seen tracks all over Grapevine corp. east of 377 south of little denton creek. some prints are in the area of 4 inches across and a fellow hunter the other day said he thought it was a HUGE bobcat over a gut pile till it walked away and he saw the 4ft long tail. Makes you wanna keep your eyes on the trees.

You can add Llano and Lampasas counties to the list.

That's scary, your friend's mom seeing one in the backyard. Keep the 30-30 handy.

Last year, My boss was asleep in bed, when the doorbell rang. He lives in Lake Dallas! We are talking just nortwest of Lewisville. Well, there was a sheriff standing on the porch, and told my boss to stay in the house. He just seen about a 180lb cat in his front yard and jump the backyard fence. The next day the game warden came out, and the tracks were in the back yard. So, I guess the old addage that "where there's deer, there is mountain lions" might still ring true. The warden said there were several living in the area.

Duval County, just outside of Freer. We've had 3 sightings over the course of the last 8 years. One shot at and missed by a guest. All 3 were supposedly fairly small, maybe 70-80lbs.

I saw 5 in Upton Co from the late 70's to around 1990, one was on the air strip on the west side of Rankin just a couple hundred yards from our house. Saw 2 in northen Crocket Co and 1 in west Reagan Co. Actually 6 in Upton if you count the dead one the Gov. traper got.

I grew up in Odessa, and when I was little, my dad and older brothers were coming home from deer hunting and found a mountain lion that had JUST got hit and killed on I-10. IT was just west of Roosevelt I think. Might have been closer to Sheffield. No scars at all from it. They had it mounted, but back in 1995, it was stolen out of our storage room. It wasnt but about a 80lb cat, but a neat mount none the less.

I did a lengthy search on this, and the only thing I could find said there has never been a documented case...

Your search should have shown three which have occured since 1980 all in southwest texas. No fatalites. I dont know how to post the link but my search took only a second and it was TPW info.

I have posted about this before and its been along time ago. But I have seen three in parker county. I had someone with me in all three sightings. One in the early 80s running trot line on brazos with a Jon boat electic motor at 1am no more then 30yrds away. Small cat 70 80# be my guess. The other in 1997 or 98 100yds away crossing a rd near a place I managed. And the other around the same time frame about 5 miles where that cat crossed the rd near Advance rd. That one came to rattling horns. I wasnt fast enough to get a shot. It was a big cat. I know alot of people that dont think its possible. I lived in theses areas and spent everyday in the field. And these are isolated incidents.If someone really wanted to research it the Weatherford demacrat paper had a write up about a cat hunter that came up from alpine and confirmed a kill in parker around the time frame I saw those two cats in the late 90s.

Hunted a lease about 40 miles west of Corpus Christi, think it was still in Nueces county. It had a pair on there, guy on the place next to us killed one of them. This was 20 years ago. Meanwhile fast forward to this summer in Erath county just outside of Lingelville I walked up on a adult mountain lion. He went one way I went the other. Guys on the ranch next to me have seen it a couple of times also.

Well, someone else has seen another mountain lion on my place in Kinney County. (I posted earlier)
