I pulled this off another site. It claims this lion was killed SW of Jet oklahoma by a hunter in a stand. Just wondering if it's bs or not and if any one else has seen it before. It says this cat weights over 200lbs and is over 6 feet long???????

Its about 5-6 years old. It was actually shot by the guy that owned Custom Osteo. (A skull cleaning business). I can't remember his name. I think he is out of business but not sure. He actually shot it without dogs after he followed it for some time and when he knew he was close, he used a call and got it to show itself. That is the story he told me years ago when I was using him to do some skull cleaning. If I remember, it was in WA.

I seen it around four years ago. I heard it came from Canada and the left paw was taken off in a trap. Gotta love the internet.

It's funny I was just talking to the DFW predator Manager the other day about this cat and another that is circulating around. Both cats are photo-chopped. You can see the line in the front paw, that was supposed to be taken off by a trap. The other cat is said to be 300 lbs. you gotta love these stories. And by the way if the cat was around 6 feet long he would be around 110 lbs. A 180 lb cat will measure at least 8 feet.
The Washington DFW knows these cat from being sealed at their office, and neither one is the size that they are told to be.
