We are gonna need doecommander to weigh in on this one. After all he is our resident black painter expert.

It's amazing that hunters and just general folks in the outdoors aren't eaten every day!

Im no expert- im no fanatic...i was simply a high school college kid driving a 30 day old clear cut smz. Daddy was law enforcement. We had hunted most of the land south of 41&89. I dont want to name names, but some of you will recognize this land- and also know MICO and McM/Blodell ( and diamond/amcan/stone container) had timber rights on the private land. We hunted tilden south to just about a mile south of pine barren creek bridge-most both sides of 41.
Yall know that area? I cant remember exactly what parts of 41 except by pine barren. I also had russian boar chase my ass up a tree one afternoon.

I found a cow still smoking at dawn one - they said the pigs got her. Damn cow had claw marks across shoulders and hq's/ribs.... Right!

I can appreciate your cynicism. You dont know me and likely you didnt know daddy either.daddy killed panthers / cougars along the sucarnoochee at bellamy- sumter county when he was a kid.

Cynicism is nice- me too on most things- but i have nothing to gain by sexing up a story about big cats- for a bunch finebaum mindset stroke artists. Most here are Obama's favorite intellect- neck south scholars.

That's why i dont post much here- bunch of lowbrow least common denominator types..who mock anything that provides safety in numbers ...

I've got clients all over that area and been working on old MB land around Tilden for years. There ought to be a season on cats around there, they are everywhere!

aww somebody got him's precious little panties in a wad. really dude we are just poking fun, learn how to take a joke. you could be a world renowned expert on panthers who feeds one in your backyard everyday and have pics to prove it and we would still rib you a little. lighten up

Sorry- long time lurker- not much of a "joiner"
Didnt mean to be offensive- simply how i see most conversations here become path dependent- facts be damned at alter of folks with most posts etc.,
Sorry Im not joining a fraternity in order to have my posts go a ways through the gut of a maggot to be deemed credible.

NO NO NO! By all means, post here more often. We need the smart, high minded, condecending elitist to let the rest of us know we are just carrion scavenging, pea brained troglodytes

Post is answer to you- dont know how forum works- but i dont have panties. You prove my point

Keep calm and carry on- and- if you have anything constructive to contribute to panther/cougar/portland landing... Let's hear it!

bill you just used a word i have never heard before. troglodytes

Dar hit!

family compound?

I have a friend who bought 105ac of the land that was part of Mossy Oak lease!He just moved and is wanting to sell it. it borders the Dawson tract and i on The big Pine Berron slough! he has killed 3 that i know of over 140" in the last 3 years. My family land is on Pine Berran 2 miles from Portland so I know the area very well and this is a great tract! Plenty of hardwoods and thickets!

And about the cats I have hunted all my life there and have never seen or got a pic of any large cats! Also my close relative have over 6000ac in Tilden and they have never see a large cat! So if by chance one exist there's not many!

I have ran across feral ape's in that area!

My Father has ran the youth ranches for many years and we had the hunting lease to the macmillan/blodel property for many many years when i was a young fella. i still hunt out along 41 behind safety net there was an old black guy named mr esaw that worked for us and told us many a story of big cats running around out there. i wish i had pics to put up of all the large deer we took out there over the years!

Have you been broken into yet? They are having lots of trouble right know over there with some of the kids breaking into people camps! Some of safety nets kids burned down Johnson and stallworths office! Also broke into a friends camp and stole 4 golf carts and wrecked them!

no i havnt had any problems. but i dont have anything for them to break into. iv heard all the stories of the boys breaking into stuff though the guy who runs it is a friend of my dads. i hunt the old boys ranch property behind safety net.

I drive 41 on to get to work. I saw my first big Alabama cat last week right before you get to sardis on the way to selma. It was Tan in color. Went across the road I turned around at a church and tried to get another look but it had already went in the woods. I talked to a leo last month that was telling me about a man in minter that had killed a couple and had them mounted, at the time I was still somewhat skeptical but not now.
