we should totally just go shoot it.
About 15 or 20 years ago was bow hunting early November morning in Chatham Co. NC...up near Sharon Lake dam...on side of steep ridge and it was cold enough for breath to blow....about daylight a huge doe came bounding down the ridge about 20 yards out...jumped small creek and up ridge on my side. She stopped all of a sudden and looked in direction she had just come. There came 2 black panthers bounding down other side of creek toward the doe....I mean huge....had to be 5 ft long at least and couple hundred lbs I would guess....had long tails and big heads...soon as they hit the creek I think they caught my wind because they made a sharp right turn and down the creek side no more than 10 yds from me....gone in an instant. Will never forget that....ever since been little scared walking in the dark up there.
How so?
The one in the link is pretty cut and dry proof. Mo and ark both have them. Why would middle TN be that far of a stretch?
I've never seen one in NC but have heard stories. Some were laughable and some were what I believe to be genuine. I know of one area in ellerbe that landowner swore up and down he saw one. Didn't put much stock in it till one day while rabbit hunting we found a goat skeleton 30' up in a forked poplar. I'm not gonna say what did it, I don't know. But I do know what I saw and know no bobcat or any other predator we are used to in this state is capable of dragging a 70lb goat up a slick @$$ poplar tree.
You read it on the internet so it has to be true. Absolutely no verifiable proof.

You guys crack me up...........
Uhhhhhh.....yes....cougar!You guys crack me up...........
What do you call a big cat that looks like a cougar and is solid black head to tail....black cougar?....have heard term panthers all my life and know these two were black as ace of spades.
Have heard of another siting by a hunter in that same area...been many years ago but sometime around same time line as when I saw these 2. Yea, the 2 I saw were body and tail were real long and came bounding down that ridge just touching ground in long strides...one behind the other. All happened in few seconds...like something in a movie. Have never heard of any in captivity in that area though.My dad saw one in the same area in the same time period. He watched it cross the 42 highway with a pair of binoculars. He said the body and tail was nearly a travel lane width long. It was jet black and said it moved so fluid.
For you guys that find an aggressive "cougar" in your bed. Only one solution, just gotta feed them the right kind of meat and they will stop being so aggressive. Often helps if you feed them twice a day as the often have a vivacious appetite.
At least that has been my experience.

Ummm yes there is. TWRA verified it by visiting location and said it was legit. Not sure how much more "verifiable proof" you need?!?!
I live in Greensboro. In the city cycling Google email list a guy posted today that he was riding his bike home last night on the greenway in the city about 9pm and a cougar crossed six feet in front of him. This happened near Guilford battleground park, right by southern foods. He had lights on his bike and his helmet and says he got a really good look at it.
Just found out the story is gonna be on Fox 8 news tonight at 10pm.
Saw one behind the liquor store last week....he was playing domino's with a wolf rat....think he was losing.....cause he looked angry.
