Well, finally, TWRA is scrambling. Trying to explain, "There is no Cougars in West Tenn" well, now we have an honest trail cam pic, of not Only one pic, but several pics within a couple square miles, of a cougar. No denying it now. All pics were taken between Sept. 19-20. in Obion County Tenn. not 12 miles from my house. Look it up on WKRN news out of Nashville. I want to see them explain it away now, I know several guys that have been seeing one for a couple years, in that area.

Edit: it was probably a different cougar, mine was just a regular one and not black.....

Look folks. When evidence like that appears in AL then we will confirm one too. They can't go undetected. They're too large. They leave evidence. So far nobody in this state has provided evidence. Just stories. I'm not denying they could possibly be here, and neither would anyone else in our agency. But if there's as many as people claim to have seen we would have a huntable population.

Thing is Matt is that Obion County is maybe, 30 miles as the crow flies form the Mo. State line. I live in the south/west part of Weakley County, the sighting is maybe, 12 miles or so as the crow flies from my house. I live about a mile from the Obion River, the farm where the pic was taken is in the Obion River bottom. I am like you, if as many existed that was reported to be seen, we would all be seeing evidence. I really don't know what I would do if this thing came by while I'm in a tree.

You can take my story to the bank. Perry County, late 90's I watched one walk across about a 200 yard wide hay field. It walked up and stood at a barb wire fence watching cows for about 5 minutes then back across the hay field toward the river where it came from. Never seen it again but it was dang sure a cat like in the story above.

Crap I hope I ain't started the panther sighting thread for the night.

well , let's say one cougar has a home range of 50 square miles here in alabama . take five and you fill maybe 250 square miles .

i don't believe it take thousands of cougars to have thousands of sightings .

Not trying to single you out Frankie.

OK... How many thousands and thousands of reports do you think TN has had over the years? Now they have 1 confirmation of a cat. Not real good odds for very many of those reports to be plausible.

Like Matt said, if anyone bring us that picture and we can verify where it was taken then we will confirm it. A good set of tracks would work too but we've yet to see any of those either. I guess cougars don't walk in the dirt.

i don't believe there have been thousands and thousands of reports . more like a few hundred if my memory is right for what i've read in the past for the southeast . but hey my memory may be getting bad .
