Compared to where I normally get reports, it's way better. That being said, you are probably correct and may be pretty crappy.
I make all my interns read that book right off the bat.
I guess it could be possible, but I agree with you that it is probably unlikely.
Have you ever heard of any confirmed reports up around Stillhouse Hollow Lake area near Salado? When I was in high school, so 1995-1999 timeframe we went fishing on the lampasas river right below the spillway. We were catching some perch and small bass and having a good time (that water is very clear and beautiful by the way, especially for that part of Texas).
It was getting near dark and all of a sudden we hear a siren blaring and a guy on a bullhorn yelling for people to come up. So we head up and hit the trail unsure of what is going on and there was a park ranger there stating that there was a mountain lion sighting on the trail and we were in imminent danger. I told the ranger I would take my chances and asked if I could fish for a few more minutes. He declined my request and made us walk out on the trail with him driving his truck literally 10 feet immediately behind us with his lights and sirens going as if the mountain lion was going to pounce on us at any moment. I always wondered if this was legit or if he just wanted to shut down the park early so he could go home.
That's about the extent of my mountain lion sightings in central texas, besides the typical uncomfirmed local rumor about any creek bottom in the area.
