Around here (Arkansas) mountain lion sightings are very rare, but they do occur. I saw one while hunting in the Ouchita mountains about 10 years ago. Funny thing is, when you ask the game and fish commission about them, they will straight up deny that we have them in the state, call you a liar. Finally about 4 years ago, a guy about 20 miles west of little rock got a picture of a large one on a game camera. It was on the front page of our major newspaper. The game and fish's comments were "we do not have mountain lions in the state. That had to be someone's pet". Always been a real head scratcher to me as to why all the denial. I know we don't have many and they have a huge home range, but they ARE out there.
