Labor Day Wknd Trip to property in Buffalo Valley area to work on property. To our surprise, we found a set of four bear tracks with claw indentations. Tracks were the size of my hand, but wider. Bear was apparently crossing dirt road on our property (South to North) Very interesting. We always find something new on every visit.

On July 14th 2011, we had gone to our property in south Latimer Co. in Buffalo Valley area for a few days as a get-a-way. We were looking forward to seeing all of the normal wildlife including a gorgeous bobcat. To our surprise, we found many other tracks much larger on a close-by path. After further research of paw prints, we believe they belong to a mountain lion. The two sets of prints are 3 1/2″ each, with spacing of about 3′ in stride length. The bobcat prints we have found in the past are much smaller, and the stride length is only 2′. We have now set up game cams in area to hopefully verify our beliefs.

On June 2,2011 about 6:00 pm I heard a loud growling,screaming sound that caught my attention quick,I live 9 miles south and 2 miles east of Bristow in Creek county in a rural area. I got my binoculars to search a distant tree line across our pasture. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at, 2 Mountain Lions were staring at each other face to face,flipping there tails up in full view. After a couple of minutes they walked back into the woods. I have heard reports for years but never seen any. I am a believer now.

Comment on More on ‘The Alaska Experiment’ by Cody Heintz

I am 18 years old and I live in North Dakota. My dad had me out cutting wood when I was 9 to make it through the winter here. I’m sure I could do it there for the survival. As for the food, fishing and hunting is nothing i’ve done it all before here. I’ve got a buddy from Florida who thinks he could do it also, so I think it would be an experiment to try it. We are always up for a challenge, so if u could some how help us get a chance at going to Alaska. It would be greatly appreaciated.

Why is it so “unbelievable” to others who haven’t seen a panther, mountain lion, or black bear in Oklahoma? They are here my friends. My husband and I moved north of Skiatook, Ok. in 2008. We are in the country on 4 acres and live near a very large canyon. Last Nov. I was outside feeding our cat and kittens, which have all disappeared. I heard the loudest animalistic scream coming from the southwest part of our largely wooded area. I’ve never heard anything like it in my life. We’ve had several more small cats and they’ve all disappeared. Yesterday, May 6, 2011, I was planting shrubs in my back yard. I’m always watching for deer and listening for the rustling of leaves. There was a sneezing/coughing like sound coming from the west side of our house. I got up, turned to look towards the direction of the sound and saw a VERY large black cat looking right at me. It didn’t seem too excited, just curious. It was larger than a rotweiler yet smaller than a great dane. I truly believe it was a panther. The golden green eyes and wide shoulder span. This was definately not your wild tom cat – I’ve seen them too. I called 911, Osage sheriffs came, searched, questioned me, and left. They did say others have reported sightings, but they have never seen one. Like many others, I too am frightened to go outside right now. It has given me a greater respect for the wild!!

Comment on Going solo: The dangers of hiking and climbing alone by Frank Foodie

I too would love to hike and hunt alone but have been contantly told not to. With the right equipment you can at least take precautions to the unknown circumstances that may come your way.

Let the wildlife department deny this one. This is also for the people that don’t think there are Mountain Lion in Oklahoma. They will travel up to a 200 mile radius.
