it was about 3am when they woke me, pretty cool seeing two of them. Kind of felt like they didn't see that many humans since they looked at me and weren't bothered. Only seen one other in my life when i was I kid around 10pm running across the road when we were heading home. Thanks for the info.

On the road kill, the only reason i didn't think it was a car is because the road is a dead end, speeds don't get over 30 or so and it was at the end of the road (Deer Lake Rd).

I bet it scored 209

I see a ringtail every now and then down in the Guadalupe river bottoms, they're still around. They're more like a coon or a fox than a "cat", neat little critters. Usually only see them at night.

i see the occasional ringtail while varmint hunting, seen most of them between comstock and del rio.

I've got a pair that live in my barn. Here's a pic I took with my phone when it ran above my head

guess those pics were never found

I bet we don't hear from nwhoustonag again.....

I came across a cat stalking me while I was walking across the ranch in CS about half a year ago or so...

I had a 12ga loaded with 7 1/2 shot on me, but that's it...

it wasn't black, more of a greyish/yellowish, but not spotted.

I peppered it, and back-tracked it... it had followed my footsteps nearly from the gate a mile away.

Hey at least your color makes sense.

--For those that are interested, apparently the "Black Panther" Monsterquest comes on at 5 PM on the History Channel.

Wow, that was interesting to watch (MonsterQuest). The reason this particular episode was of interest to me is the fact that I helped prep the TPWD biologist that got filmed. I had heard about the episode, but had never been able to catch it until today.

*On a side note---the biologist filmed in MonsterQuest is one of the top trackers in the state.

Some of the evidence people were trying to show was borderline laughable. What was really funny was seeing the "black panther" pictures looked at in the show. They were the exact same photos I've had sent to me 3 times in the last two years. And in all 3 occasion, it was in a different part of East Texas. But are the exact same photos.
