I saw what I think was a jaguarundi about a year ago along a creek about 1.5 miles from my house. It bounded arcoss the highway at about daylight. Around 3-4 have been reported in a 10 mile radius from Lockhart. TP&WL told me it was illegal to collect him. Oh well.

Hey Chainsaw,
Welcome to the Posse! I am glad you made it! You are correct about the jaguarundi. We are talking BIG fine!!
Good Hunting,
Bob

For every cat seen, I wonder how many go unseen, and thus unknown/counted?

Chainsaw, Good point! I think we all call in a lot of cats that we never see. They have a habit of stalking in and all of a sudden just "being there". A common mistake is "over looking them", not remembering to look very carefully at your terrain right in front of you. You may have a cat that slipped in on you 15 yards away just watching. I really don't want to know how many bobcats I have called in without seeing. It would depress me too much.  Good Hunting, Bob |

PaulB... I was at the Hunter's Extravaganza at the Beaumont Civic Center a couple of years ago and there were some game wardens there that had a mounted ocelot that was killed in south texas by a hunter who had mistaken it for a bobcat. He turned himself in and agreed to pay the highest fine for killing an Ocelot which is $5,000. What you saw could have been an ocelot. www.tpwd.state.tx.us/nature/endang/animals/ocelot.htm |
