Just reported on News Channel 5 in Nashville that a mountain line has been caught on a trail cam in Westmoreland, TN. That’s right below the KY line and around 30+ miles or so from Monroe, KY. It showed the trail cam pic and it was definitely a mountain lion.
Lol. Of course it was caught on a trail cam IN TENNESSEE. KDFW can still deny it. Lying bunch of peckerheads.
Edit to add: Westmoreland is right at 30 miles from the Monroe/TN border (28 miles from Bugtussle, to be exact).

Here is the latest News Channel 5 update with the trail cam pic. In the story the guy says it’s about the size of a buck that was also captured on the trail cam. Sheeeiiiitttt.

Uhhh, have you been listening, did you read the article? Tenn had a well documented Mt lion last year. They don't know if it was a released pet or an actual wild Mt lion. But the point is, last I heard, they had countless pictures from over 20 different trail cameras, over several counties.
When they are around, there is countless evidence. You can't go more than 100 yards in KY without seeing a trail cam. When they are around, there is evidence, it's that simple.

Rob has conceded that there are mountain lions in Kentucky

Could be black vultures. They are becoming a nuisance, pecking out the eyes of small animals and killing them.
Is rob seriously trying to say that even though there’s atleast one mountain lion just a few miles from the KY border that there’s still no mountain lions in KY?
em mountain lions is scared of WILDCATS buddy lol
Mountain lion on trail cam literally 30 miles from where there are 3 dead ponies, a dead dog, 2 dead calves, and a big cat track right next to one of the dead ponies.
Evidence is in abundance, Rob.
Full disclosure - my dad is still skeptical. Thinks it could still be a pack of dogs and there have been sightings of some MASSIVE bobcats (although he did say there were 2 separate tracks found, and not just the one in the photo). He does say it's pretty f'n obvious it is wild animals of some sort and not humans doing it (stupid, lying KDFW peckerheads - what a clown show).
I, on the other hand, am ALL IN after the trail cam photo.

That's one healthy looking mountain lion. Yikes.
Cats are damn evil. The little "domesticated" ones kill for fun and generally act like heathens. Imagine what these big kitties do for fun.
That's a Golden Retriever - Rob.

Look at that thick tail, definitely got some chocolate lab in him.
If I was a mountain lion, my happy *** would be killing things in the beautiful lands of Kentucky/TN/WV Got to be one of the best habitats for a lion.

House cats kill for fun because they don't get to hunt, and instinct is driving it.
A mountain lion or bobcat hunts to survive as part of life, so the drive to hunt is being fulfilled.
No. Hillbilleus Ubiquitous makes life hard on Lions...however, as Hillbilleus Ubiquitous gets stamps, big screens and video games, the lion may return. So they are coming in.
You’re feeding your house cats too much if they’re not hunting for mice
Then why does it kill for fun if it gets to hunt? Because all cats kill for fun
Because it doesn't have to hunt for food. If it wasn't fed by me, the desire to hunt would be fulfilled by hunting for prey.
I'm not saying Mt lions won't kill things. I'm simply stating they aren't going to kill something just for the sake of killing it like a housecat that gets fed everyday. The prey drive in a wild cat gets fulfilled by hunting for survival.
I read an article about domesticated cats once that claimed outdoor cats commit approximately 10,000 homicides during a normal life span. That includes all small animals and insects.
Bobcats have been known to kill an entire coop of chickens in one night and not eat them.
I know regular lions only kill when they are hungry, or in defense mode.
I'm not sure about mountain lions. I'm going to look that up.

An outdoor house cat is a killing machine.
My cat doesn’t even have claws and it amazes me the number of animals he brings up.
Saturday night during the UK football game he brought up a young rabbit. I heard it screeching on the porch. He didn’t even hurt him..yet. So I packed him way off and let him go. I missed the INT late in the game because of it.
I imagine a bobcat gets blamed a lot for the crimes of other animals.
Possums and coons will kill out a coop of chickens too.
What I read about them is as long as they have fresh meat, before it spoils, they won’t kill again.
Having said that, I wouldn’t bet my life on it.
I just don’t think they’d kill as much as we think they might because it takes energy to kill, and it’s a chance for the cat to sustain an injury, and they’re drive to instinctually hunt is being satisfied.

After more research I've found that a solitary mountain lion will kill one deer every 10 -14 days.
A female with cubs may kill a deer every 2-3 days.
The kill rate of course will be me frequent if deer are not available and they have to eat small animals.
Apparently a deer is a mountain lions favorite dish way above all others.
The Monroe County killings don't sound like typical mountain lion behavior but I don't think it rules it out either.

Talked to a fellow from Cumberland county who has hunted all over the US(even contracted with the govt to hunt out west)he has seen the tracks in Monroe county,says it is a mountain lion no doubt.
Which is more plausible:
A) Drugged up meth head sneaking onto someone's property in the middle of the night mutilating a bunch of ponies and dogs and having the sense to leave a big cat track behind to frame a mountain lion.
B) Family killing their own ponies they had just bought for their grand kids, along with their family pet just as a hoax to get attention.
C) A feuding neighbor shooting the animals, then deciding to cut the throats of the ponies and leave a big cat track behind to frame a mountain lion.
D) An actual mountain lion - one of which was spotted (verified) on a trail cam a mere 30 miles from the incident - with many other verified sightings on the Tennessee border where Monroe County sits.

Just don’t get why it’s such a hard concept to accept that there’s probably mountain cats in Tennessee and Kentucky.
It's only a hard concept for one person in particular. Most everyone knows they are in this state (ironically, in large part due to TWRA for being open and honest).
