They may be declared extinct, i guess i dont know that much other than they are not common. They do pop up occasionally on game cameras and stuff.
There was a mountain lion spotted on camera about 20 miles from me last year, those things are beasts. I live in MN, so then being in my part of the state is weird
I'm in MN and have heard of people seeing them in their yards that butts up to some public I hunt. Father in law had one on trail cam 5 years ago. Wouldn't want to get all tangled up with one of them...

That is the entire back half of a deer about 20' up in a tree. The other leg is on the other side of the tree. My son happened to notice it while sitting in his saddle and snapped this picture. We checked it out closer after the hunt but didn't think to take anymore pics.

Western MD. maybe a bear trying to eat in peace...? either that or deer jumped the string big time

We have bobcats but I think that "officially" the eastern mountain lion is considered extinct.

20 years ago I personally saw what I am positive was a mountain lion, it was 20 yards from me, in northern Garrett County and I know of one other dependable sighting by two individuals probably ten years before that in the southern part of the County. Cat's from the west have been known to travel long distances looking for mates so who knows if they lived here or were passing through.

It had to be one BIG bobcat to drag the two rear legs of a deer 20' up into a tree, although I guess he could have taken them up individually.

I would believe you if you said it was black! ;-)

Found this massive what I assume to be natural mineral site? Completely covered in tracks. Tucked waaaay back on public land only accessible by boat. 12x12ft and a foot deep. The deer are digging under trees to get to whatever they are after.
Ther are now 2 cameras there!
