They are a beautiful creature that I don't want to meet up with. Here in OK they wildlife dept denied we had them until a few were taken alive, hit by cars, and seen by the media. Supposedly a few of the dead one's DNA put them from the Dakota's. That is a far trek south. A theory for why we are seeing more movement of the cats is that the dry weather and land are forcing them to follow herds farther. Now you know why I like to carry a .45 acp with me in the woods. I really want a Glock 20 soon!
