Don't know the certain story as this was given to me second hand from somebody who was also second hand and we all know how that goes... but first one was shot coming into a water tank and then the others followed.

Bizarre seeing what appear to be three adult cats together, maybe ursus or another biologist can explain. Shot near Howard draw in crockett county (ozona)

Oh my.

You know people make their living with livestock right?

Thought this was the outdoors board not politics. My goodness

Were these lions causing depredation? Highly unlikely unless they are running sheep. Plenty of deer for those lions. Would much rather have them running around still unless they are causing trouble. Saying that it would still be hard not to shoot one.

Oh- I'm not getting on a soapbox- to each his own.

But I'm kind of a live and let live guy. If they're affecting the bottom line, that's a different ball game.

Ozona aka crockett county is known as the wool and mohair capital of the world.

As I age, I ask myself the same question. Then I temper that with remembering killing every coyote I could find due to them getting after calves. They are beautiful, unique, animals, but they are a threat to peoples lively hood.

Pecos County is my home and the only lion I remember was caught near Iraan on the east side near Crocket.

Not to derail... have you guys seen the video from DFW about the cat prowling in Plano, Frisco, and I forget the other city, over the past 3 weeks? It was caught on home security cameras. I'm guessing it's the same cat but what do I know.
