I had some property up north of DFW in an area that was mostly trees and hills. There was a pond on my property that was one of the few water holes for wildlife. I had parked on a road that runs by the property to check out an adjoining property and was standing by the car. As I turned around, a mountain lion was no more than 50’ from me, walking calmly into the brush across the road. He didn’t growl or anything, just went on about his business...and so did I.
We live part time at our farm on Lookout Mountain, GA. We picked up a mountain lion on a trail cam about a year ago — our neighbor had spotted it the week previously. According to our state DNR, mountain lions do not exist in our state. I beg to differ.
