Yesterday I was surprised to see a prairie dog on the south side of our house. It was the first one that I have seen in years. We do have all kinds of varmits out here. I've seen turkeys, bobcats, prairie chickens, emus, a fox and one mountain lion from a distance. Two people have described what could only be a bear or bigfoot. I think I will go with the bear.
In the Daily Oklahoman yesterday was an interesting story about a mountain lion being killed by a train in eastern Oklahoma. The lion had been tagged with a radio transmitter in South Dakota and had apparently made it all the way down here. The game ranger they interviewed said it was the first documented case of a mountain lion being in Oklahoma in his 23 years. I have read about other game rangers in the past also saying there are no mountain lions in Oklahoma. To help to enlighten out game rangers perhaps as a mandatory part of training they should visit the museum at Cheyenne to view the mountain lion that is stuffed and mounted there.
