HI Guys, Just got back from coffee. I drove the dike on my way back to the shop. Just across the Tongue River at the back North side of the Fair Grounds on the Tongue River bank I saw a mountain lion. Rather large and looked at me for a few seconds before jumping over the berm towards the infield of the Fairgrounds. It took me a second to realize what I had just seen. Shocked to death. Each day I drive the dike to check on a small bunch of ten mule deer that feed and stay by the fairgrounds on the river bank. I have not seen then for about ten days.
Wondered why and now I know. Being hunted made them move to another area. Have been here all my life and never seen anything like this.
These cats are amongst us and very close. Now I know why I am armed 24/7... God shows us these things to bring us into perspective. Montana is a great State. We have things that others only think of seeing. Seeing is believing.
A great sight.. Glad I got to see one even at one hundred and eighty yards on the edge of town.
Thought that you would like to know. If you live here keep an eye out of your own showing.
