Yes I have only caught mountain lions twice but mountain lions in East, TX are pretty darn rare and I'm only one person. TXPWD has only a record of a handful being killed (they are open season in TX) in the last few decades in this part of the world and upland pineywoods aren't exactly great mountain lion habitat. In that time I have gotten several bears which aren't even officially a species found in East, TX.
Most of the study areas are large tracts (for around here anyway) of 10,000 acres or more because we were tagging sites for possible bear reintroduction (cooming soon).
