I was reading

I was reading a article in American Hunter where a man in Indiana was keeping a eye on his sisters property because a lot of folks dogs and cats were coming up missing from around there. He just happened to be looking out the back window just before dark when he saw what he thought was a bobcat.He got his gun, slipped out there and popped it.Got him a flash light and went out there and it turned out to be a Leopard:yikes like in Africa Leopard.The man freaked. He called Game & Fish who immediately took it into possession.At the time they did not know where it came from!Folks got too many stupid pets!From the size of it the cat appeared to be a juvenile!

Saw that with pictures a week or so ago. I saw a cougar near moon lake once.

Don't think that's the same kind!!!! But just where's this place at? Bwahaha

Dad's family used to tell about the panther hunts back in the day around Sat's stompin grounds. Said the scream would make every hair on ya stand up. I dunno about black panthers, but the florida panthers that look like a smaller mountain lion are still reported from time to time

Me and a buddy were deer hunting in Fayette co.Tn 20 plus yrs ago and had a encounter with a wolf. My bud is 6ft + and about 250 he was shakin in his boots.He was in charge of the K-9 unit and it was bigger than any german shepard he ever saw,foot print was bigger than my hand.We didn't hunt there anymore.

I know this is a little farther North, but we have had a pair migrate thru our area for 20 plus years. Neighbor has a cave with bones, etc., in it and the fish and game folks claim that's where they hold up when they come thru. Several folks have seen them in the fall. Really kinda kewl, if you think about it.

I saw a huge brown cat with a huge tail ten or so years ago while bow hunting. I'm guessing close to 100 lbs. glad I didn't have a gun because I would have shot it. I thought then it was a panther but now I'm thinking couger. This was right off the bluff ten or so miles from stray horn.

I live in Strayhorn and my wife swears she hears them.But i believe she is hearing a fox,they sound terrible.

I saw a cougar go from a 3 to a 10 in a little joint up in Columbus one nite, it was just about closing time.:biggrin

DD seen a Bigfoot

Back 25 years or so, somebody up in Bolivar Tn. Killed a cat that took up the whole tailgate of a full size pickup.
I saw it with my one eyes... Don't know what it was, but it sho was big.....
I used to hunt up there and more than once I heard a scream down in a bottom befor daylight that scared the sh$$ out of me.
Needless to say I did not hunt Down there that morning!!!

I believe cougars of some sort do migrate through our part of the world every so often, but many a grown man has been scared to death by nothing more than the sounds of a screech owl or a fox.

Been coming thru down there on 397 for years, never seen one down there but have up here several times.

It could have been an owl, but whatever it was, you don't want any of it....

Raccoons can really scream too if they are being closely pursued. My dog has been into it with them a few times and its a freaky noise.

Nothing but bobcats this far south. Panthers are sumn your grandads made up to scare ya.

Leopard Shot, Killed By Indiana Man Did Not Belong To Wildlife Refuge
