Well, I am 74 so I am pretty familiar with ridicule How to say you are married without saying you are married. Wisdom !

I have actually seen one years ago at the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge, down in the Valley. We were sneaking in to lay in on a crossing, from Mexico, to catch some smugglers. It was at about evening twilight. no sun, but not quite dark. Same time of day I saw it. Was casually walking the shoreline in this pic ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/05/full-28262-184894-img_0220.jpeg)

I never said it was impossible to see one along the border of their territory. It's highly unlikely but not impossible. The op asked about smith county. That would be impossible. I don't understand why some of y'all get offended if someone knows more about a certain subject than you do

It's amazing how many of y'all don't realize animals ranges and habitat requirements

I'm very aware. That's why jaguarundi are extripated from Texas. The little suitable habit they had anywhere near their range is no longer suitable

Maybe only 5 documented but more than that have been seen. I’ve seen two, one on the Gary Morgan Ranch in South Texas and another on one of the deer leases I had in Mexico. Jaguarundi are not common but they get seen.
Thanks, Billy

Finding a cat isn’t as easy as finding a deer or hog, they’re elusive, nocturnal, and hard to find. I’ve heard big cats in plenty of places, including northeast texas.

A lot of those "Seen" were probably Ring-Tailed-Cats.
I'm glad there are wine drinkers in this world ..... it saves more beer for the rest of us.

Jaguarundi aren't"still around" because they have never been around there. There have only been 5 documented jaguarundi in Texas. The. Last one was in 1986 and all 5 were in 2 counties in the very southern tip of Texas. They require a very specific habitat. He’s already googled it. This is straight off TPW website.

We would be finding their skeletons if they were still around in any numbers.
Now it is certainly possible that some East Texas Vape and THC king had one in his personal wildlife refuge sanctuary and it escaped into the wild.
