We definitely have Mountain Lions in Nebraska! Depends on where at in the state and if you are near a major waterway (they have traveled along the Platte river from Wyoming and Colorado to get here, at least the eastern NE lions have.)
NEBBUCKHUNTER, where are you in SE Nebraska? I hunt down near Cook and the farmer to the north of where I hunt has seen a mountain lion on multiple occasions, and for the past few years. Not too far from the Nemaha on a creek that feeds into it. They are definitely around, and from the looks of your track I wouldn't be surprised if it was a juvenile mountain lion, probably female. With that said, I would think there would also be a male near by as they are the ones that usually go rogue and travel east from the Rockies.
