fact or fiction?

A friend gave this to me today. I was told that the picture was taken in Marion, in Western North Carolina. Just curious if anyone has seen this pic floating around before? Not claiming it's true, but was informed it came from a relative of one of the guys in the shop my friend works at.

A friend sent me a picture that looks a lot like that one. Said it was taken in Southern Missouri.....hmmmmm?

And on TBN's sister site, Countrybynet, Pat says a friend's niece and a friend took that picture just north of Tulsa, OK.

I'm confused about why its so difficult to believe the pic is real.

Hiya Ductape
I don't think that it's hard to believe that a mountain lion killed and carried off a deer.. just that it's getting hard to believe any picture of anything interesting is real without wondering if it hasn't been doctored, or fabricated.
Great picture by the way.(if it's real....haha, just kidding ... sorta)

Nope, not hard to believe. Just like the cheetahs in africa, a cat can certinally take down a deer.

Cool vid teg, surprised the greenies arent wanting to put a end to those cruel, barbaric mountain lions.

I'd say cat done this before..size doesn't matter.

I thought the picture was real, but what I wasn't sure of was if there were mountain lions in Western North Carolina.

If I were a betting man, my money would be on the fact that there are no "native" mountain lions in Western NC today.
