I shared this in my DIY thread on my cabin build but thought I would share it here around the campfire.
sterday Morning (June 1 2022) I work up and checked my Cell cameras. I have 2 cameras at my feed station; one pointed to a water trough and cotton seed feeder outside my feed pen, and one in the feed pen pointed to the corn feeder, alfalfa feeder and another water trough.
To my surprise there was a Mountain Lion in the pictures!
The first picture he is hiding in the brush on the back side of the cotton seed water trough. he ran off 5 deer but one stayed behind looking at him... (pic1)
After the deer left he visited the water trough and got a drink (pic 2)
Then he went around and got in the feed pen where two porcupine were eating. you can see him stalking one of the porcupines. (pic 3)
I assume he got him because the next picture was taken outside the pen a while later, he came pack to the water trough. (pic 4)
I believe he did get a meal because today June 2, there are quite a few turkey vultures at and around my feeder.
I called the sighting in to the TPWD county biologist, surprisingly he told me that the porcupine is about 70% of the mountain lions diet in Texas.
