Came home for lunch and saw this on WSB channel 2 news. I don't know if I would be more worried about the critter or the neighbors roaming around with their "piece"! I'm guessing coyote or bobcat.

Eyewitness claimed it was black. Get your skinnin knife ready Nic!

If these folks only knew how far away from any human contact these animals really live, they'd be amazed. Why is it that 99% of the reports are from populated areas. Godamighty.....

On the way home from camp last week a very reliable no nonsense Nephew of mine who was behind me said he saw a regular colored panther in Coweta on 1-85. Said it was ratty looking in poor health. He came home and found reports of the sightings in the area.Not black but If he said he saw it he saw it. If theres truly one on the prowl, a picture should turn up on a trail cam or somebody's phone.

It turned out to be dog! A neighbor's Rottweiler.

Probably a panther! They found a Bigfoot in nearby Clayton county a few years ago. The Bigfoot was most likely keeping it as a pet!

Dog makes a fine meal.

Oh yea, my challenge still stands....

I put my best friend in a stand in Harris County and at 0745 hrs, he heard something trotting behind him. He didn't pay it any attention because he thought it was a tree rat, but when it got closer and louder, he turned around. He said it was a beige panther about 4 feet away and it did not appear to be too afraid of him. It turned around and sauntered off from where it came.

A panther was taken in Troup County, GA back in '09. It was said to be a "unique" experience.

I'm thinking that it's not all that unique. And, my buddy's integrity is rock solid. He's not one to make up a wild and crazy story. So, we set up game cams to catch a glimpse of him.

I don't doubt that there are tan panthers/mountain lions running around in Georgia. Just no black ones.

Seen a black cat on my club years ago and I'm not the only one. Prolly a half dozen sittings in the last 12 years. They have all been black and there not kitty kats. I promise. I know there is no scientifically recognized black cat but there here

He must be very fast and tired by now.

Is that bad luck?

Halloween is just a week away.

bubbafowler · Oct 23, 2014

2 does came in to 15 yards about 10 minutes later, one caught a free ride in a Ford....... Maybe it was good luck.

QuackAddict · Oct 23, 2014

Or bad luck for the doe?
