Mountain Lions are rampant in Kentucky this time of the year.

I really hope I see one. I live in Oldham County and I would definitely snap a picture.

 

[gollumcat]

Is this the thread where we just post general vague statements?

 

[jwheat]

My mother claims she saw one down here in Cumberland County a couple years ago.

 

[BankerCat12]

Animals you will find in my backyard. All of them

 

[TriangleUKCat]

Saw one fall off a ladder one time.

I saw one dead on the shoulder of I-24 near Cadiz 12 years ago. Big mofo.

Griffin, Dragon, Hillary (Dragon Lady), Flopping Buzzard (Elizabeth Warrens Cherokee name).

Potatoes

 

[gollumcat]

Well are they living in KY or not?

No -- well at least the one I saw wasn't living.

Do we need a weeklong series of Top Feral Cat Smackdown polls? I can whip that up in a jiffy. @Mashburned would probably complain because Lynx didn't make it past the regional semifinals.

 

[gollumcat]

well KY borders MO so ipso facto they must be in KY as well

There is no direct route into KY. Illinois or Tennessee has direct routes after the Cat crosses a bridge. The known population starts west of the bootheel. The bootheel is not heavily timbered. They are migrating east. Matter of time.

With that said, everybody and their brother has not seen a Mountain Lion. There are 40 pound bobcats. And 90 pound yellow labs.

Here's one in a guy's backyard tree, about 1000 feet from my house.

Captured by Fish and Game and relocated to Kentucky.

 

[BBdK]

Rob73 actually thinks there are no Mountain Lions in Kentucky. Liberal ignorance knows no bounds.

How do you know it was relocated to KY? Not trying to be a smart arse, just wondering.

That is exactly who we need to weigh in to get this thread really humming.

"Ipso facto" is one of my top-3 fave Latin phrases. Nice work.

Don't leave us hanging man, exactly what on a bobcat could weigh 40 pounds? A paw? His dick?

 

[Xception]

I spotted one outside of Stamping Ground on Bonds Pike, honestly. I also know what one looks like, have fished/hunted most of my life. Watched many documentaries on ML’s via NGC, DSC, ANML Planet etc.... Nobody will believe this but that’s fine, still saw it.

 

[PuffyNips]

Oh, they are in KY alright.

Game & Fish and their cronies in Prospect City Council just don't want you to know the TRUTH.

Might make people afraid to buy hunting and fishing licenses.

Saw a pack of them crossing the damn John Roebling suspension bridge.

When? Just curious.

Not even sure I used it correctly. Think I was at least close.

I see what you did there.

 

[Xception]

Middle of summer, July I think

Yes, do it in a jiffy. Need something to complain about before THE GREAT CHICKEN DEBATE 2018 comes along.

black panther > any other cat

 

[PuffyNips]

Saw a pack of them crossing the damn John Roebling suspension bridge.

Every 2nd Tuesday of the damn month. It's like clockwork.

They're coming to the Commonwealth and they're getting smarter AND more punctual on the way. And there is nothing we can do about it.

 

[Bill Derington]

I don't know if there's any in KY or not, but TN fish and wildlife has stated they are once again in the state.

Also, last year pictures of one were captured on a trail cam in Obion Co TN, which borders Western KY.

 

[IdaCat]

Because we wanted it as far away from town as possible and KY is the only place that would take him. They are known to thrive in KY and I guess people there like them.

Looked fine to me.
