Black Panthers???

[DannyW]

Any updates?

No black panthers but I did get this on my trail camera the other day. Never seen a black one.

That’s pretty cool-and definitely a black panther! I sees it with my own eyeballs.
Thuuurs a bear shadow that appears in the valley just past Whiteside Mountain between Highlands & Cashiers for a few days or so I believe in October.

Opening weekend has come and gone. Many pairs of eyes hit the woods. Any sightings?

 

[Iwannashoot]

Think I saw one, but it was after dark and I was working on my fourth cocktail so it's hard to be sure.

We had them in South Georgia at least as late as the late 50s. A lot talk of painters, black and otherwise, happened long before trail cams.

They are always among us. They are part of us.

I think it would be cool to see a picture of the old timers back in the day posing with one.

Bovine excrement. You can't show a single bit of proof of that. Trail cam pics aren't the ONLY way to prove something.

Here`s one from the early 1900s in Florida. Not black because there is no such thing in North America.

Not enough folks sitting around the fire passing the peace pipe nowadays.

 

[The Original Rooster]

Has anyone ever seen a solid black armadillo? Bet it would look like a giant roly poly. That's what I want to see...

I think it's funny that none of the old folks when I was a kid ever mentioned black panthers, even though they talked about panthers a lot. They grew up when panthers were still a thing, and they knew what color they were. Black panthers are a modern psychological product of movies after panthers were extirpated from most of the eastern US, styled by folks who have never seen a real panther.

There’s a big surprise coming soon.

I don’t need to show proof. I don’t care what you think. I share fact and if people cant handle it then that is there problem. My father and uncle’s words were good enough for me. There is a picture of the one they killed hunting rabbits near Tifton somewhere around. I don’t have it. However, breeding populations were in Florida and costal Alabama, and there were numerous encounters with them in South Georgia. Really, people don’t need pictures to prove documented history.

just you wait
