Yes, I think they just get bigger romping in those mountains.

The one that took my turkey flock was about the size of our dog when my mom walked up on it.

This whole time I was reading cougar, not bobcat. I was about to respond that a 30# cougar was really little. Then I saw this. Glad I went back and reread

Yes, it sucks for that. I haven't did much hunting the last couple of years.

My daughter texted me earlier this evening wanting to know where you should shoot a bobcat. I said well if you are not wanting to mount it then a head shot will do it. If you want to maybe mount it shoot it in the vitals. I asked her why. She said her and her boyfriend were hunting and he shot a bobcat and it went down. They started walking to it and it jumped up and he shot it again and it went down again and then jumped up and ran off.

I asked her if they were sure he hit it because sometimes they will go down and try to hide if you missed. Was there blood. She said a lot of blood. I said well he probably hit it too far back. That it would probably die especially if he hit it twice but may not find it. She text back later that they had his Dad with them and were trying to track it and kept finding blood but finally gave up.

Dang, that sucks I hope they’re able to find it tomorrow.

Nah, we supposedly don’t have cougars here. But, I know people that will argue you down that they have seen black panthers. Want to fight about it if you don’t believe them

My husband has seen black panther while hunting in Southern Ohio. We think it's from the Zanesville incident years ago. A guy had lions, tigers, bears, and panthers at his farm. One day he went nuts and opened all the cages then killed himself. Police were searching for hours for all the escaped animals. They say they got them all but he probably had more than they knew about. His wife won't talk to police about how many he had because he had some illegally
