Our dogs are the ones that spotted all of them. Pretty scary as far as I'm concerned. Any one know why so many of these snakes in this area?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810009914256696264.post-57051256419293672172014-02-08T15:29:48.490-06:002014-02-08T15:29:48.490-06:00My parents have a resident Cougar on their propert...My parents have a resident Cougar on their property about 6 miles west of Normangee Texas, Sightings are regular, 3 or 4 a year the last one was this December less than 100 yards from the main house. I believe this is a female. I am not sure this is particularly out of place, but does seem unusual now days.

But it was at least 2foot tall and 3 foot long, it was dark brown. I am sure it was some sort of cat by the way it ran. It was in the Spring area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810009914256696264.post-26682223708847466562013-06-18T18:16:14.388-05:002013-06-18T18:16:14.388-05:00I live in Canada, but this morning at 6:30 when I ...I live in Canada, but this morning at 6:30 when I went to take the dog out to her kennel, I looked up and there was this massive cougar 40 feet away from me. Honestly, I kinda have a memory block due to the trauma (cougars take a lot of lives around here) but the next thing I knew I was in the house yelling for my dad to get the gun. My dad tried to shoot it but it got away.<br /><br />At 11 30 this morning my mom, who works from home in june, looked out the window and there it was, sitting in front of our shop. She yelled at it but it wasn't afraid. My mom cant shoot worth bananas so she called our neigbors to see if they could come shoot it, but nobody was home. After going through all of our neighbors, she called 911. The conservation officer came out and said that yes, it is a cougar, an adult male that is very dangerous because it is not afraid of humans and it keeps coming into our fenced yard. So now we aren't allowed to be outside alone.<br />I'm honestly freaking out right now. We have a lot of cougars around here, but this one is bigger and is not behaving as cougars usually do. They are always there, but you MIGHT, just maybe, actually see one once every couple of years. If someone sees it it will disappear for a very long time, but not this one. It's actually enough of a threat that the C.O. actually told us to kill it if we get the chance. That doesn't happen often.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810009914256696264.post-740192748162426752013-05-27T09:37:22.557-05:002013-05-27T09:37:22.557-05:00Just seen a cat in front of me on my deer lease of...Just seen a cat in front of me on my deer lease off FM 2090 Splendora, Tx, dark grey hair around 50lbs, 4' to 5' with tail, running. hair was longer than a cougar and solid.

It was a young cougar. We have seen a pair over several years chasing down deer across the back of our property here in Marion county. I backed slowly away while it ran into the heavy trees! Awesome encounter but don't really want to have that close of one again soon. :D Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810009914256696264.post-66474448825386698542012-01-31T15:24:16.904-06:002012-01-31T15:24:16.904-06:00A cat like you described ran accross the road in f...A cat like you described ran accross the road in front of our car. It was not a bobcat but larger. We were in Eagle Springs Subdivison at 12:04 AM.<br />I know it was not some big dog as it loped when it was running.
