This is a great reason to keep a gun handy

This was e-mailed to us, and if it is accurate, it is a great reason to arm yourself!

260 lb. Mountain Lion 70 miles NW of Abilene

  

 Near Swenson , Texas

(about 70 miles NW of Abilene)


Look at what James Snipe hit with his car on county road 328 north of Swenson Texas in Stonewall County . The lion was   still alive but unable to move, so our neighbor called animal control and they came and put him down. A land owner had seen this one a week before dragging off a 320 lb steer. Our neighbor is an amateur taxidermist and he's going to stuff him. This one weighed 260 lbs. while most mature   males mountain lions weigh 80 to 150 lbs. We had no idea they still roamed around here!
