Tracy, you don't have any mountain lions in your area, do you?
Yep. Even though KDFW tried to deny it for many years, they have always been here although in limited number. The old timers called them panthers (pronounced painters).
I cut sign on them a few times years ago and actually saw one back in the 80's. But when I talked to the game warden about it, I got a "There are no lions around here *wink wink*"
