[QUOTE=simonite;5764348] I've lived in North Texas my entire life and never heard of a confirmed mountain lion sighting. QUOTE]

Can't say for sure about North Texas. Its more common than you think to the west of Fort Worth. Several years ago I was in Stephenville, pulled into a C-store, and saw a bunch of good 'ol boys looking in the back of a pickup. I walked over to see what the fuss was about. The owner had shot and killed a mountain lion that was the size of a german shepard.
