Did A Cougar Or Something Or Someone Else Kill Christopher Whiteley?

Leave a comment

In Dec. 2020, Hood County, TX Sheriff’s Department reported they believed a Lipan man named Christopher Whiteley was killed by a cougar (mountain lion).

We first reported on it here.

What followed was a storm of controversy involving both state and federal wildlife officials who disputed these claims.

In the latest edition of Dark Outdoors, host Chester Moore talks with Texas Monthly author Morgan O’Hanlon about her investigative report on the case.

Did a cougar really him the man? Was it another type of animal? Or is there a murderer running loose?

A Look At Predators In Our National Parks

Leave a comment

People are turning up missing at alarming rates in America’s national parks, forests and in other public wild lands.

Delia D’Ambra iis an investigative journalist and host of the Park Predators podcast and has been studying the issue since she came across alarming disappearances in her line of work.

Are these disappearances linked to mountain lions, bears and other wild predators or predators of the human kind?

Click banner to listen to this fascinating episode.

Listen to the latest episode of the Dark Outdoors podcast with Chester Moore to hear what Delia has found in her research.

Crazy Texas Moose Story

There was actually once a moose in Texas according to a 1989 story in The Oklahoman.. I included this in a story in the Fish & Game report last week.

Here’s one of the highlights from The Oklahoman.

A wandering bull moose that has been seen on occasion in the Oklahoma Panhandle apparently is in deep trouble in western Kansas.

Kansas wildlife officials said the big bull is in poor body condition and appears to be suffering from severe parasite infestation.

The animal, sporting an impressive set of antlers, was first observed in South Dakota in October 1987. Since then it has traveled through Nebraska and Kansas, across the Panhandle and into Texas. It later returned to Kansas and took up residence in the Kirwin National Wildlife Refuge before beginning another journey last fall. It was seen in Oklahoma last September, near the Optima Wildlife Refuge

This stray moose came over from Colorado and shows that wildlife do not respect maps and boundaries we put on them. Have you ever seen animal that is not supposed to be in Texas?

Law Enforcement Investigates Bizarre TX Cattle Mutilations

Leave a comment

Just when you thought things couldn’t get stranger in the Texas wild, it gets strange.

Madison County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the death and mutilation of cattle along TX-OSR.

“Ranchers advised a 6-year-old longhorn-cross cow had been found lying on her side, deceased, and mutilated on their ranch.

A straight, clean cut, with apparent precision, had been made to remove the hide around the cow’s mouth on one side, leaving the meat under the removed hide untouched. The tongue was also completely removed from the body with no blood spill.

It was noted there were no signs of struggle and the grass around the cow was undisturbed. No footprints or tire tracks were noted in the area.”

To hear a take on this that you will likely hear nowhere else listen to the latest episode of Dark Outdoors by clicking here on on the icon below.

My plan for the Dark Outdoors podcast season two was to kick it off April 25, but due to the situation on Lady Bird Lake in Austin and all of the interest there I just posted the first episode.

Four bodies have been found in the former Town Lake in one month. And although officials say there have been no signs of foul play it fits a pattern of deaths that has been observed all around the nation involving young men.

You can listen here.

This is a can’t miss and an angle on this topic that needs to be looked at with investigator and documentary filmmaker William Ramsey. You can listen via the link here or via your favorite podcasting platform such as IHeartradio, Spotify, Amazon, etc.
