ozark trout fisher Posted June 30, 2017 Posted June 30, 2017 I realize it's a little bit odd starting two "photography" threads in 12 hours about two decidedly different corners of the continental United States....but such is life when you work a job in a remote area where you rarely have access to internet and have to confine all of your posts into those rare periods where you reenter "civilization". And Greer Spring is still pretty enough to be worth the trouble. Also, one of these is a bonus image from the Colorado trip I forgot to include, but that I like enough that I don't want to omit it entirely. I'll let you figure out which one. Side note: On this day, I went to Greer Spring with three other people. Two of them were absolutely captivated, having never been there before. The third complained about the "long" (really, dude, it's like a mile, that barely counts as stretching your legs) walk in and whined incessantly when it became clear this wasn't going to be a good place to swim. Will never make the mistake of sharing with this person anything cool or near to my heart ever again. grizwilson, Quillback, Deadstream and 7 others 10

jdmidwest Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 You would have thought all those "roaming" mountain lions would have done that job. Maybe the Elk pop exploded. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
ozark trout fisher Posted July 1, 2017 Author Posted July 1, 2017 LOL. Hesitant to even say this, but I am +/- 90% sure I saw a mountain lion a week ago south of Highway 60 in Carter County. It was from a distance, it was on the move, so my confidence is less than it would have needed to be to report it. But...I'm fairly sure. There are limited options for large felines with long tails. In any case it was on the move away from me, and towards a notably large and relatively unbroken forested area. As good a place as any in this state, one would suppose.
MOPanfisher Posted July 1, 2017 Posted July 1, 2017 In that country and the fact you didnt say it was a black panther, yeah it is certainly possible. ozark trout fisher 1
