Wow! I love gamecam photos. Mostly boring stuff but occasionally something dramatic happens.
Case in point:
Dramatic moment of a Mountain Lion taking a Whitetail Deer
I have no backstory on this one. It just showed up in my email inbox. Let me know if you know where or when this was taken.

Seems to me that everyone is claiming this one, cuz I got it today and was told it was from Milledgeville, Ga. Someone really needs to own up for real…cuz this is a great shot.

The photo was taken on 2/15/09. Go to buckmanager.com. I also heard it was from missouri but the sequence on that site clearly shows mesquite brush in the backgroun, as well as hard pan sandy soil. Look and decide for yourself.

It’s from Texas- that’s official from the Mountain Lion Foundation. Some of you need to be better informed- there are no mountain lions in Georgia, Alabama, New Jersey, Ohio, North Carolina or Missouri…as they went extinct in each of these places nearly a century ago, their eastern-most distribution currently is Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, along with the entire west coast up to the southern tip of Alaska and nearly all of Mexico, Central and South America. What’s even more humorous is that Laguna Beach, CA could have happened (they exist all over California.) You may have heard “stories” of mountain lions in the aforementioned places, but these are not true and mountain lions haven’t been officially confirmed anywhere east of Texas (other than in southern Florida, where a separate population exists) in nearly 80 years.

To Brandon in regard to his post on 9/30/2009
Re-check your facts. There are in fact quite a few CONFIRMED mountain lion sightings in the East including the states of Maine, NY(report from a DEC officer and a police officer), Mass, as well as in Quebec,Gaspre, and New Brunswick Canada. Although these states have not yet proven sustainable, breeding populations, they are getting quite a few sightings, some of which have been confirmed.
The pic being discussed, was taken in Texas. Look closely at the vegetation in the background, and you will quickly see that those claiming it to be from the northeast, or southeasat are definately mistaken.

Hey Shane Sanders,
Your Uncle’s close friend is telling stories man. Check out the site below that has ALL of the pictures. You can EASILY see that it’s taken in a desert due to the sand and mesquite. Ask your Uncle’s close friend where there is a desert in PA and mesquite brush, because i would love to buy a house there to get out out of the nasty PA winters. It amazes me how people actually believe other people’s nonsense before verifying that the information is correct.

There are several other states that haven’t been listed on this topic, but there are several states who have “un-proven” animals, according to their wildlife departments, even though there have been numerous sightings in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri. I have talked with a Arkansas Game and Fish commission, who say there aren’t any natural breeding animals here. This doesn’t clarify on the fact that the National Forrestry service is trading animals with other locations. I do know for a fact that they are doing this, as it came directly from a Forresty officer. So just because all the states that deny them can continue to deny because they will not do any kind of studies to prove it for certain one way or the other.

Haha, I heard this came from Indiana. Rush County to be exact. I have a good friend who is a conservation officer. He says that Indiana has about 15-20 mountain lion sightings every year, mostly southern though. We even had a school in Cass County shut down for a few days because of so many reports of a mountain lion in the area. My dad was the principle, now retired, who closed the school for two days because so many parents were threatening to keep their kids home becuase they didn’t want them outside walking to and from school until the Mountain Lion issue was resolved!

Everyone is claiming to know things about pictures that they know nothing about. Liars, or wannabe liars.
I guess I should say that this picture was taken in Washington, DC. near Potomac, Great Falls and GW Parkway. After all there are a lot of big deer there so it must be true.

I can solve this dispute. This picture is real, but it was taken in deep south texas. A friend of mine is on the lease where this picture was taken. If someone wants proof of this they can email me at cody_king02@yahoo.com. I have the full series of pictures, alond with pictures during the day of the same feed showing the huge drag marks in the dirt. Another thing during the daylight pictures is all of the prickly pear cactus and mesquite trees in the background. I dont think there are any of those in indiana. Another site says it’s in PA. It’s amazing what people dream up. What I dont understand is what people get from lying about such stupid stuff. It takes a very awesome picture of a lion in south texas and turns it into a lie in the rest of the world.

you sure did list a lot of facts in your discovery channel post there. A lot of facts that are b.s. Correct about florida, but thats because Roy McBride has been catching them in west texas and turning them looses there. But Maine and New York both have mountain lions there. Oklahoma has a few lions as well. It is true that 99 percent of the people that say they saw a lion are full of crap, but dont say they dont exist. And also just FYI a male mountain lion has a range from 70-100 miles with a female having about half that. So just remember that cats cant read state lines, and if there is one in florida he can travel 100 miles in either direction. Many cases where Roy McBride turns them loose, that would put them over the state line.

Wow, this cat sure gets around! I’m from Wisconsin & we’re getting this picture here with a note that the picture was taken in Mt. Horeb, WI. Thought it was a great picture. We do have cougars in our area, our neighbor, has a picture he took of a cougar drinking milk out of his cats’ pan, in his dairy barn. The barn was empty at the time, he was just leaving for his shift as a county cop. A couple of farmers near us have lost cattle that were fenced in, guess the cat can’t tell the difference between a calf & a deer, and the fence makes it easy for the cat & hard for the livestock. The picture is interesting, I guess I don’t really care where it was taken. If you Google mountain lion with deer picture, you will see that lots of people are saying they took the picture first.

We had the picture curculating our inboxes via text saying it was from Waterloo, Al. Yesterday my husband was shown an Alabama Outdoors magazine (not sure if it was a new issue) with this picture. The article said it was not Alabama but Marion, TX. Needless to say we had to send text to everyone we had forwarded this pic too and tell them it wasn’t true

This picture was in an article in Buckmanagemnt.com. Originally thought to be a fixed up photo, until the trail cam owner summited other photos of the area. This picture was taken in South Texas according to the article. check out the site and google the site itself for the article. As stated by another look at the vegitation this is not PA or NY, I know I live here. There is another one said to be taken in PA of three cats feeding on a deer carcass but again look at vegitation. it is long leaf pines and scrub brush that only grows in the southern states.
