WESTMORELAND, Tenn. - A string of mountain lion sightings across this area have left some residents on edge and now another sighting of the incredibly large cat has been caught on a trail camera.
Eric Flitcroft owns about 70 acres of land on the edge of Macon and Sumner Counties. One of Eric’s friends uses some of the land to hunt and has a trail camera setup in the woods that is motion activated.
Last week, Eric was looking through still images on the camera when in between images of deer and bobcats he spotted what wildlife official believe could be a mountain lion.
“What made me pretty sure that’s what it was, is the posture. The way it was standing there stalking something, it was more than just a wildcat or domesticated animal,” he says.

Sure looks like it to me.
Cats
It’s been verified since by numerous trail cams etc
Saw a photo of a road kill mountain lion in the county west of Nashville about a year ago.
Yep
I think Cheatham and Dickson and Humphreys all have sightings
Parts of Cheatham is sure remote
My younger daughter lives near McKuen in Humphreys
Deer camps everywhere
CATS...The Broadway play that would never leave, or so it seemed 20 something years ago. Extremely popular. I never saw it.
Well so much for the Mississippi River stopping the cats migrating East
I lived in Manhattan then
And we thought Hello Dolly and A Chorus Line ran on a while lol
Same as armadillos and coyotes
There were no armadillos east when I was a pickney
Coyotes hunts are becoming routine due to numbers in the East. Hope big cat hunts do not have to become routine. Big cats hunt back .... if the environmentally ill force the cloning of dinosaurs, there could be hugh and series problems ... LOL even though is not funny
Many observations of the same cougar, or different cats across the county/region?
Nashville Cats?
Good question
Like bear they range wide
Pardon me, boy, is that the cat that chewed your new shoes?
I’d like to see the other pictures they have. The photo used in the video is not a Mountain Lion, just a house cat. We don’t have allot of big cats in this area but we have had a few, shot one a few years back. That makes 3 we’ve taken in the last 20 years.
Yas sir,cat number nine.
In Tennessee, wouldn’t it be a catamount?
