Default See any Mt. Lion in Texas?

Just wondering if any hunters in Texas ever see any Mountain Lion. I've heard people say that they've seen them, then some say they're really rare. Your thoughts, and counties?

I've only heard of them on Fort Hood. I don't care to meet one at this point in time.

I saw one outside of Junction a few years ago. My best friend saw one in Wise county this year. His dad had one walk under his stand a few years ago in Wichita county.

My cousin shot one this year. I will post picks when I get home. Female weighed about 120 pounds, huge claws and very sharp teeth. He shot high and broke its back, had to kill it with handgun up close, the big cat made some veryscary cries.

... so they don't seem to be as rare as I thought. Thanks for the replies.
