Anyone seen any mountain lions in Ky?I saw one 2 years ago in Pike County KY.Any pics caught on cam of mountain lions?

NEVER SEEN ONE PERSONALLY, BUT ON MY FAMILY FARM THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL.  ON MEMORIAL DAY I NOTICED SOME VERY LARGE CAT TRACKS AROUND HIS POND.  THEY LIVE IN HINDMAN NEAR ISOM KY IN KNOTT CO.

Cool ,the one i saw was just at the edge of my yard where the woods start,I heard my dogs barking strangely about 7  a.m. one morning and i looked out the window and saw the mountain lion coming across the edge of my yard and I ran outside to get a better look but when i got outside it was gone.i havent seen it anymore but others in the hollow have said they have seen it.

Have not seen any sign of one but I guess they can be around and you would not know it.  Not sure if I want any around or not.  Nice to see but they can live elsewhere as far as I am concerned.

Become part of the wild and you will understand your prey

Now that is something I think I saw one night driving home.

Crossed the road in front of me but was so fast I could not be sure.  Had a long tail anyway and was too big for a cat etc.  Only saw it once though.

Have you tried getting pictures of these black panthers?If you do i would love to see them.

Is it against the law in Ky. to shoot a mountain lion?I know the eastern mountain lion is listed as extinct but is it against the law if the ones that are here now are western mountain lions?

  black panthers are in Ky. Pic from a  Friend of mine day/time wrong but pic is not.

It sure looks like a dog to me

That's no dog.

ive seen them here in harlan county a few times we had a panther runnin around the house but ive seen the brown/yellow mountain lions on slope holler road on more than a few times

I have never seen a wild mountain lion that I can be certain about ( 1 very brief flash of what could have been ), but 2 years ago while hiking and hunting in West Virginia a few miles from the Kentucky line locals warned me about wild panthers.

dpmt of fish and wild life turned loose 100 mountain lions in eastern ky pike floyd and magoffin countys in 2011 and ive seen a few but i dont got any on cam
