Found this old picture in my email took me while to convince my buddy it was a house cat.

Your buddy might not be the sharpest crayon in the box.

look how big it is compared to the shooting house though, I say a painter for sure.

Probably rip out your throat if given the chance...

I still think it's a black panther.....

Those damn drug smuggling panthers...

Midget black panther, no doubt.

Chupacabre

It looks legit to me... ain't no way a house cat could drag a full sized doe like that...

He's probably heading for a pungi stick hole..........................................Daddy was law enforcement......

Thats a high end photoshop job right there.

That Painter is doing a service, that deer looks really sickly, needed to be taken out of the herd.

I dunno, looks legit to me....

Ole Staurt thought he had a Black Panther

Pit Bull Black Painter. Deadliest animal alive.

IF you were out in the woods hunting and shot and killed a 90 or more pound black cat (panther) could the game warden give you a ticket?

Post a pic and we'll let you know.

looks like a black house cat to me

I dont see how you can get a ticket for shooting something that doesnt exist.

They say they don't exist....so I'd have a hard time accepting a ticket/fine for something that don't exist!!!

House cat

What about an elbino? Just say in it could happen.

my advise ,,, if you shot one , better be from the ground with it looking at you . you shoot it from any other angle i bet you gonna have trouble if the GW catch you .

That's not a food plot or a shooting house, it's a cocaine drop zone and drug lord hideout.

Just for shits and giggles yall do know that there is no such animal as a black panther right?

Take that back, there's only one black painter.

But but but there is no such critter. someone must have caught that mountain lion and spray painted him.

Hey there are panthers in Bankhead I one by Moreland church and another one crossing the road with 3 babies following on hwy 33 between 278 and the shooting range

Mercy.....

I agree! LOL!

I lived by Moreland Church for a year.

That's why you moved , You got scared. That's just what I heard. I hope he didn't see one close to sipsey , cause I might have to find a new club. Lol.

rumors of black panthers in gadsden!

enough said, fire up that bad boy.

That's exactly why I moved. I was scared alright.

you'll never make me believe there aint big black cats out there . maybe not a cougar .

I shot one last turkey season with a Nitro. He laughed. I bet he will not laugh at TSS.

SMDH!

Oh, they are out there. Fact. Those 12 lb black tom cats are everywhere.

All you have to do to make me believe there are big black cats in AL is simply get a legit trail cam pic of one! That shouldn't be too much to ask since it's possible to get pics of all the other animals in the woods. Until then (and it ain't gonna happen) I'm calling BS on every confused individual that says they have seen one.

Better yet...just shoot the "big black cat" and become instantly famous! That feat would rival capturing Bigfoot or a Unicorn, b/c they don't exist either

me and my brother in law would disagree . there was one that was 100 to 125 lbs in chambers back in 78 hard not to notice it at around 2:3o on a sunny day at 5 and 20yards coming out of a push up pile.

let the laughing begain lol

Frankie, I know honest people that believe they have seen one too. I'm not going to.laugh at you, because human eyes and brains can see a lot of things that aren't reality. I know you saw something. I just don't believe it was a big black cat. There has never been an ounce of undeniable evidence provided to prove the existence of a large black cat in North America. Bring the evidence, and you'll change history.

i know this i'll remember that belly fat swaying till i die . there was no mistake . i believe it was a a pet that got loose . the ground had just been cleared for pasture and the piles were going to be burned .

to add ,,, there are a heap of black cats in the usa just maybe not black cougars .

Frankie- Don't take it personal... I wouldn't believe my mom if she said she saw a black panther! However I would believe she "thought" she saw a black panther. It's just hard to see something that doesn't exist.

ps- Any chance you were looking for more shrooms that day?

There are melanistic Jaguars and Leopards. I've seen them at the fair...lol.

i've seen five as pets . two in alabama years back . hell the guy just down the road had two loins tied out on leather collars . one got loose and killed his wife . soooooooooo ,,,, lol

You get killed messing with big cats....lol.

he had those lions less that 500 yards from the house and we never heard them

^^^^^ I'm convinced!!!!!!!

Only took that buck 4 minutes to notice that Panther.

I guided this client to this one this past season up on Cheaha.



We saw so many I decided to put up a trail cam and got this one the first night.

Then after that, I decided to go and try to get some better pics with my SLR camera and I had this one come right in to a Clorox Stump.


It's amazing how many of these rare black cats there are in Alabama.

Awesome. Cheaha rocks.
