Deer Hunter’s Photos Are Kansas’ First Verified Live-Cougar Documentation
From the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks:
Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) staff have verified that a mountain lion was photographed by a deer hunter northwest of Wakeeney. The sighting is the first ever live wild mountain lion documentation in Kansas although many other reports have been received in the past.
The hunter who took the photographs was setting in a tree stand when the mountain lion materialized near a pile of corn the man was hunting over. The hunter grabbed his camera and took multiple photos as the lion approached within 10 feet of the tree stand. The animal looked up at him, then moved out of sight.

HERE KITTY KITTY!
Which user was it that had the trail cam shot of what looks like a juvenile cougar?
mountain lions have been in KS for at least 40 years but the Fish and game dept has had its head in the sand.
Dept of Wildlife & Parks has had its head somewhere, not sure it was in the sand though!
At least he was smart enough to take pictures. Even if I had a camara, I probably wouldn't of been able to take picture because of amazement.
that is not the first cougar EVER seen in kansas my dog came home with one chasing it in what appeared to be full gallop wish i woulda had the .223 handy to prove it.
where was it spotted at????? i found some HUGE!!!! tracks today while scoutin for deer nd it scared the!@#$
out of me.
I know a guy who had pictures on a trail camera of one here in Kansas and he turned them in with the date and time stamped on the pictures but they didn't believe him
Im not from kansas but i have friends in kansas that see em all the time when they are huntin they have turned in pics 2 but fish and wildlife never look into it. All i know is we are startn to see several of em back here in indiana anymore
