So this has been a long debated topic here in KS. It's been known for 25+ years that we have mountain lions roaming the plains. However the KDWP has denied their existence until recently, due to the advent of game cameras.
My pops saw one yesterday afternoon bout 6 miles north of Topeka off US75. He also saw a black one many years ago down by the Kaw, where 75 crosses into Topeka. I saw one about 5 years ago run out of our pasture, not 500 yards from a grade school near Meriden. My mom has seen one too, about 20 years ago. Maybe 15 years ago, there were lots of reports of mangled or missing dogs in my area, attributed to the big cats roaming the area.
Just a few days ago, one was found shot up by a shotgun with one paw cut off. That was out west in Rooks county.
Just wondering how many of you fellow prairie dwellers have seen one of these big cats, and where.
