Mountain Lion Sightings?

[Amilnor]

I was looking through the fauna photos and noticed that no one has managed to snap a shot of a mountain lion. Any reports of sightings anywhere in AZ? If so, where and what advice would you have about increasing my chances of a sighting? I've spotted a black bear (Mazatzal Wilderness) and a bobcat (Catalina SP) and I've hoping to round out the trifecta but no such luck in 2 1/2 years of hiking around the state.

There are signs all over the place in Sabino right now and articles every other day in the paper. Every single article features a picture of an angry, savage-looking puma. It's just sad...

I couldn't agree more! Leave the wildlife alone; it's their home you are visiting.

Saw a big mountain lion today in Open Draw, an area that leads down to the East Fork of the Black River near Three Forks. We tried to see it again, as it ran across the grassy area in front of us, at least a football field down the grassy area from us. Then it ran up the steep slope which is covered in spruce trees. We surmised it could be watching us but we were not able to spot it again. It is the third time I have seen one in AZ, and each time I only got a quick glimpse.
