A catamount?

A puma?

Panthera Onca or Puma Oncolar? Sounds like the country cousins are gearing you up for snipe hunt.

Sounds like an aggressive yellow lab

In.

What does "clawed a donkey" mean to the kids these days?

Tell me you don't OB much without telling me you don't OB much.

I'm gonna go ahead and go out on a limb and assure you it was not a black panther.

Did you mean Pantera hunting? As in Lexi Pantera?

Count me in if so.

Might be grizz that moved up outa South Texas.

If it's going after goat and jackass. You need to dress up with JFF jersey and wear Sumlin visor

The panther will find you, then you're all set

I've seen some cougars at shadow canyon

OP if it was a panther it had to be black. The only kind.

Tell your buddy to tie a goat to a a tree overnight with a game cam set up.

Looks you caught my catahoula on game cam the other night. He has an affinity for dealing with the wrong end of porcupines. You got porcupines? They have the ability to shoot their spines out onto predators in case you haven't heard.

This thread lol! You can tell which posts are sarcastic and which ones aren't… but only by the user name and posting history!

My wife's dad's friend's cousin sees them all the time out there. And he's been outdoors all his life

My FIL saw a black panther recently roaming his property somewhat close to his chicken coop during the middle of the day. He's located over in Milam county. Have heard of other sightings on properties in Caldwell too.

Had a company out of Kerrville come out to the ranch to put in a new hot water heater a few years back and sent two guys out.
One of the fellows was a black man that had apparently never been out in the country much. He asked why our fences were so tall. I told him we had deer and exotic animals. The other guy sent him out to the truck to get parts and in about three minutes he came flying back in to our garage saying he had just seen a black panther by our house and he said he thought it was stalking him.
It was our big black house cat.

If dogs are scared to go out it could be a werewolf?

Looks pretty squatchy to me….

OP reports of panther/mountain lion/cougar/bear are regularly posted here. Almost all of them are 'a friend saw XXX in east or north Texas. They are all false. Note they NEVER come with game cam pics like you. so you are being subjected to the inside running OB joke.

If their really is this panther it is most likely an escaped pet. Even that is incredibly doubtful. A penned animal probably has little or no hunting skills. Most likely the donkey got tangled in barbed wire fence and the goats got taken by coyotes or maybe a dog pack.

Tell you relative to get game pics or stop telling tall tales.

Surprisingly, black panther meat is delicious if prepared properly.

Like a tender jackalope without the snipey aftertaste.

Panther = Black

Mountain Lion/Cougar/Puma = Not Black


Correct??

In North America, you're only going to have 2 big cats. The mountain Lion/puma/cougar (Latin name I believe stands for "cat of one color") which is almost exclusively one tan/brown color. I don't have a link to the study but remember that the gene that produces a melanistic mountain Lion, was essentially non-existent and the odds of it happening were somewhere in the 1:5-10MM.

The other big cat is the Jaguar. While they used to roam around Texas, you won't be seeing any of them unless you get in wayyy south Arizona or in Mexico. They're normally spotted but I believe they can and do have black phases.

The Black Panther is not on this continent but is somehow subject to mostly east Texas folklore as real thing in the wild in Texas. I don't know how it originated, probably a damn house cat as mentioned above, but it is constantly passed around without a single shred of evidence, ever…
