This is part of a two-part post, the second being one about Hawks. I went Rabbit hunting on Saturday evening May 14, 2005. I arrived at my turn off, approximately 10 miles North of Rankin, Texas at 7:10 pm. I turned onto this old caliche road and lying on the North side was a LARGE object. I stopped 50 yards from this object not wanting to proceed until I knew what it was. Note, I do not load guns or even have them out until we are on legal to hunt land so I had noting at hand to shoot with. Sitting and watching for 30 or so seconds, it stands and turns, it is long and low w/ a VERY LONG THICK TAIL. My first ever MOUNTAIN LION. It walks slowly off into the thick West Texas mesquite brush. What a thrill! Did not know that they even lived anywhere near here. Truly an incredible sight. Do not know if I had had the gun ready if I would shoot this animal.
Very unique evening last night. PS rabbit hunting was truly awesome! Check out the Hawks post.
