They said there were no mountain lions in Ky until last year when a game warden shot one. But it is believed to have been a pet let loose since it didn't appear to have the wear and tear on its paws like it should if it made the trek out here. I believe a pic like that would have me moving tree stand locations haha
If you look at any state wildlife site they will swear there are no black panthers in north america because none have ever been caught on film nor captured. I know for 100% certain that is not true because I SAW ONE AND HER TWO CUBS WITH MY OWN EYES right here in Fannin Co Texas. I am not the only one here who has seen them either. It's just a matter of time before someone gets one of critter cam. I am sure they are supremely rare but they are here and no one can convince me otherwise because mine eyes have seen the glory of the black panther.

Are you talking about Paul Ott ? I could send him a picture but the rain, we just had, has most likely washed the foot prints away.

Yeah. Paul Ott. Auto correct. When I was in house phones I worked the area he lives in. We had this discussion a million times.

Not unless you like to look through medal bars. Camera has been out all season and this is the first picture. He is probably long gone by now. I know there were deer in the pictures just before this one and they sure dissapeared. Back in the 80's I was fishing in the Honey Island Swamp, which is close to where this picture was taken, I heard one scream. Made the hair on my neck stand up!!Robert is this in the forum you meant it to be in? Are you asking for someone to come shoot the cat for you?
Some big hogs at honey island

Back when this Pearl River bottom land was being settled there were large numbers of Panthers. Andrew Jackson came through there on his way to New Orleans and some of the soldiers liked what they saw and came back to settle.

Yeah, I shot a small 140 pound one last Tuesday and had to drag him 200-300 Yds. Couldn't hardly move the next couple of days, a 70 year old fellow should know better but I got the meat soaking in the ice chest. I really don't think I should do that again! One of the fellow members shot a 245 lb one a couple of weeks back and the cutters were as long a Skole can is wide.
Damn that's impressive. It's not very likely I'll make 70 but if I do the only hog I'll be dragging around is Jimmy Dean sage flavor in the grocery buggy at Brookshires.

These mean devil have a lot of Russian in them and if you wound one you are stupid if you trail it because if it is not hit hard you will become the hunted, so I shoot them in the neck.

Yeah, wasn't very smart was it. I don't think my brain has caught up with my body, some times.Damn that's impressive. It's not very likely I'll make 70 but if I do the only hog I'll be dragging around is Jimmy Dean sage flavor in the grocery buggy at Brookshires.
Great picture Robert. Hope you get to ground check him.
I've run dogs down there

No, I probably wouldn't anyhow because as a rule I only shoot what I eat, with the exception of the coyote and armadillo. It will however make me look over my shoulder when I'm leaving my stand at dark from now on.

Tell MS Game and Fish - "It can't be illegal to shoot something that doesn't exist!"
Oh, and... Armadillo is very much edible! Fried up, it tastes just like dark meat on chicken. Actually better than rabbit or squirrel, not at all tough or stringy. Need a good sharp knife to get through that hide on their belly, but once you do they peel out of their shell pretty easy.
And, the guys over on the predator hunting forum swear those big cats taste like pork.
