There is video footage on her Facebook page, supposedly on the west shore of Ray Hubbard by Rowlett High School....

Interesting

Yep, no doubt.

jlptexashunter · 11-23-2020, 10:02 AM

Very cool. That is a good sized kitty.

Chief Big Toe · 11-23-2020, 10:07 AM

wow... not surprised,, all this Growth, all around the lakes are driving these creeturs out and about

Pedernal · 11-23-2020, 10:08 AM

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing. I know a lot of folks doubt how many cats are out there and the extent of their range. I personally think it's awesome to see how extensive their range might actually be.

Interesting. I talked to a gentleman who lives near Barnes Bridge Rd. just south of the power plant and he swears he saw a mountain lion in that wooded area a month or so ago. He said there wasn't a doubt in his mind what he saw. That would be on the west side of the lake in Sunnyvale.

jshouse · 11-23-2020, 11:00 AM

There have been people talking about seeing one on that side of the lake for a few weeks or longer now. Pretty wild.

Jnorth · 11-23-2020, 11:01 AM

Wow! I was just measuring for a dock in that area. Never would have thought there was a big cat around there!

huntmaster · 11-23-2020, 11:17 AM

I'm a mile west of the Trinity about 5mi south of the Ray Hubbard dam and we had one roaming here 15yrs ago. tracks were on my tank dam with several I witness sightings so it is not surprising to me

BrandonA · 11-23-2020, 11:18 AM

I don't know why people are always surprised when mountain lion sightings are documented. There are more out there than you think

Boss Buck · 11-23-2020, 11:19 AM

We look fed in Wylie. Of far from 66 / Miller rd. area. We used to see bobcats and totes pretty regularly.

Txfshrmn · 11-23-2020, 11:46 AM

I think we'd be surprised how much this kind of thing goes by unnoticed.

jshouse · 11-23-2020, 12:09 PM

You guys should Google the location of Rowlett HS and see where this is at. Not a rural area at all.

TxAg · 11-23-2020, 12:35 PM

That's awesome. I believe it.

ROBINHOOD11 · 11-23-2020, 02:26 PM

That is pretty crazy!
My sister just had one on camera in van alstyne this past week.

gekko man · 11-23-2020, 02:41 PM

That cat is legit!

JayB · 11-23-2020, 02:43 PM

Just around the corner from the house.

This is close enough to the Barnes Bridge area that the man could have spotted the same cat.

I have seen good sized Bobcats and even coyotes run that same edge of the lake.

BTLowry · 11-23-2020, 03:27 PM

Somebody's pet that got loose I bet

duckmanep · 11-23-2020, 03:28 PM

I thought all of the ones in NE TX were a darker color?

Gary Roberson · 11-23-2020, 03:50 PM

I agree that it was most likely someone's pet on the loose. The lions that I know typically avoid areas where there's lots of folks.
Adios,
Gary

House cats don't have tails like this!

Pauly G · 11-23-2020, 05:33 PM

HE gotta go SON!!!!!!!

MUZZYSLINGR · 11-23-2020, 06:12 PM

Bait it with some of these California jogger transplants. About the only thing they’re good for.

Besides, you should always bait a trap with its favorite natural food.

There's been sightings at the Rowlett Creek bike trails for years now. Not surprised by this. This sighting is within a mile of my house. Plenty of woods and cover for any wildlife.

With all of the pigs running around the Mountain Lion population has to be increasing.

So...your saying there are 2 of them?

Acameron52 · 11-23-2020, 09:39 PM

Wow!

AIRBORNE · 11-23-2020, 09:45 PM

Man that’s right up the road from my house, and my in-laws live right off Miller and George Bush. I wouldn’t have thought a cat like that would be running around here. I’ve seen coyotes and bobcats around but nothing like that.

Chronotrigger · 11-23-2020, 10:14 PM

I saw a mountain lion outside College Station a few years back just as it had finished crossing William D Fitch halfway between Rock Prairie and hwy 30. No doubt in my mind that is what it was, the tail was unmistakable.

LFD2037 · 11-24-2020, 02:31 AM

Mountain lions (cougars) have a home roaming range of 250 miles. There’s more out there around us, at times, than most think.

jshouse · 12-11-2020, 02:00 PM

He's moving back north fellas, he's going back after one of those Collin County bucks 👀👀
