[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1838307, member: 637"] Seeing that cat made me remember that men have been seeing large cats in our area, West TN. They went to the Wildlife people and told them they were seeing large cats and wanted to know if they had been turned loose in our area? At first they told them no, so these men told them, that there were out there and the wildlife people told them that they did not see what they thought they saw. So, they said, "We will shoot them and bring them to you." Then the Wildlife people started back peddling and told them they were turned loose in the area to help depopulate the deer as we were getting over run. And they were not to shoot the cats as they were protected. These were not close to where I live. Fast forward a year and on the other side of the Forked Deer River far from where they were spotted; a man had a few horses, and a large cat got hold of one of the horses and killed it. They knew it was a large cat after they came in and inspected it, as deep wide claws, but I can say that I like the big cats and want them to stay where they are supposed to. But, if I catch them on one of my cows or my horses I be calling the wildlife agency to come get their cat if they want to stuff him. Lord, let me have good aim and not hit the cow or the horse!!!! I would freak out to see one taking Joe down. I will serve my time. I remember when I rode horses with a girl and they heard a commotion and the horse screamed, and they ran out there, and the horse was wild. They got him up and he had large claw marks on his rump. Not a Bob cat either. Everyone was shocked that it happened here. This was in the late 60's. You know, in the 1900's. Ha-ha-ha!! Dang if we aren't getting so far past that time that we really are going to have to explain it like that. Now that I think about it, I have a feeling that those cats to the North of me were not the only ones released. The ones to the South are different ones [/QUOTE]
