Wildlife sightings...Blinky you win hands down. I saw a grey fox pick up a dead fish @ Texoma, this year while fishing a club tournament . I also saw a doe standing on the side of the road after leaving Bass Pro headed towards the airport this year. Snapped some pics of the fox.Saw a small alligator on Mountain Creek lake some 20 years ago.Saw a Polar Bear..................... at the Saint Louis zoo last year.LOL

I deer hunt in Liberty county and we have mountain lions and black panthers on our deer lease and there are massive animales alot of people have seen them and just havent gotton a chance to shoot them. One of the guys that used to be on our lease had a couple of the mountain lions stalking around his deer stand one night and at first he heard them along ways off and by dark one of them screamed and he jumped out of the stand and took off and later had another guy go back out there with him so he could get all his stuff. Oh yeah did i mention this guy was about 6'6" and weighed almost 300lbs and it scared the heck out of him.

I live in Cleburne just south of Fort Worth.My property backs up to an open field. I've had problems with coyotes coming up to the fence and harassing my dogs. I went and bought a call(wounded rabbit sounds) and sat in my backyard and maybe three squeals of the call out pops a bobcat. It runs right up to the fence(10 ft)sets down and stares at us. It was so beautiful, could not shoot It. I did however video tape for about 5 min. It eventually got bored and just walked off not scared of us at all.

I used to live on Big Cypress Bayou which is Caddo Lake. Bob cats were a fairly common sight in the winter. A few hybrids around too. I tried to walk upon a large greay and white cat one day. Thought it was just a stray. I got with in 10 yards and it turned and walkd off. Those long hind legs and bobbed tail; I knew I was looking at a feral hybrid. One night I was out after dark and heard what sounded like a baby crying.Aksed a neightbor about it the next day and he said it was probably a black panther. I didnt know whether to believe him or not, but there weren't any babies around where I lived. I've heard that same sound a few more times when out in the boat late at night. Nother time, when there was snow on the ground and I was squirrell hunting I found the tracks of a coyote chasing a rabbit.Even found the spot the coyote caught the rabbit. Little bits of fur and blood and passel of tracks in the snow. That was cool.
