Mountain Lion in Brown County this time

[NHT3]

I’ve heard of ice cream but I think it’s different! A mouse will make a whole lot of noise when you stomp on them

You aren't stomping hard enough

 

[DoggyDaddy]

You aren't stomping hard enough

I mean, they're not gonna kill ya
So like, if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock
They won't do it again
Dig it? I mean he got off lightly
'Cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of right and wrong, innit?
But really, I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?

Look at a pig wrong and it will scream.

Buy her a drink. Who knows, might look good in a couple hours.

I know this is an old thread but, there are both bobcats and lions in Indiana. Our old IDNR game biologist Dean Z. District #3 confirmed back in the 90’s. They are keeping it quiet for several good reasons. If you have ever heard a real lion growl in the woods there is absolutely no way it can be anything but just what it sounds like. Hunting range is much larger than home range. Area needs rock cliffs usually found along big rivers, lots of low human population area, large forested areas, good game concentration. Yep, we got’em, just a small breeding population. Myself and Dean had lunch and talked about this topic one day, we both learned a lot. JMO.

Mother with cubs confirmed by someone in the know in Bartholmew county this year. So I guess they're not just passing through. A breeding pair makes this more interesting.

White river+Brown Co. State Park. Sounds good.

I saw one over near belle union, southern Putnam, pretty sure it was one that escaped captivity but holy cow. There was no second guessing what I’d just see, I stopped and started to get out of my truck but common sense kicked in pretty quickly!

Again, Big Wallnut+Lieber State Rec. Area+ near the Wabash.

 

[Mij]

They were confirmed pre 90’s in the state. But the first confirmed sighting in IDNR dist #3 was I believe near the confluence of the Wabash and Flint Creek.

All of this together makes me think they are useing the river systems along the Wabash to disperse through the state. By extrapolation I can figure they are useing the other drainages the same. JMO.

...ha, ha, now we're debating mountain lions vs cougars! Kinda like Bigfoot here in Brown County. Know quite a few down here that are hairy and smelly with big feet. Probably related to a lot of them!

 

[Mij]

Who’s debating? It’s a fact.

I thought this was interesting. They don’t look like warning shots to me. The hunter was in danger and had every right to defend himself once the lion got that close.

If that big a** kitty cat was that close to me, I think I would have been dropping that d*** phone and been getting two hands on that gun and putting rounds on Target.

All that cat saw was food...

I have to agree. Maybe he wanted proof the cat was stalking him but dang. I would have dropped that phone.

Hunting by yourself might not be the best idea in Idaho.

That was either a hungry kitty or she had some kittens close by.

If he was a hunter maybe he should have grabbed his rifle and ended the problem. I fear I would have mag dumped, slip in my own excrement and tried like hell to do a tac reload while squirming around.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. During training with pepper spray, while transitioning to lethal at least once Ive forgotten to drop the OC and ended up cradling it in between my gun and support hand.

But more likely he either wanted a monetizable (or at least make him famous) video, or was trying to prove he didnt kill the cat for fun. (and get the COs crawling up his butt)
