They were all in north west TN correct?

Waverly, Tennessee is on the other side of Nashville. There was a game camera picture of a mountain lion from Roane county a couple of years ago. TWRA was not interested. I know because I sent them the picture. There have been several unconfirmed sighting in Tennessee but, this new video is undisputed evidence. Both feet inbounds! Sorry, too much football, I guess.
Mountain lion sighting are as rare as a Titans win.

Totally understood. Yeah, I've heard of unconfimed sightings here around lookout, but you never know. This story is pretty cool though

My wife saw two crossing the road near Oak Ridge. She was a deer hunter and a wildlife photographer so she had credibility. A TWRA officer, and an Oak Ridge scientist and I looked for sign in the area she saw the cats but we found nothing. You need good proof, like poop, and a cat is not going to poop in the middle of the highway. They cover it up. I was hoping for a track. Cats don't step in the mud. It's tough to prove. We still think she saw two mountain lions.
