My FIL told me about seeing a Mountain Lion here in Tuscaloosa
He said it was on the bank as he was turning off the toll road headed to the airport
Said it stood and walk parallel to the truck and went into the woods also said it was a tawny color
He didnt talk much about anything but when he did he was serious
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be

Someone post up a trail cam pic or any real evidence there is one or has been one in Alabama. You constantly hear about them and people will get fighting mad but they never have any proof. I don't care if we have them or not, I just do not understand why people get so defensive over something that has never been confirmed to my knowledge. Oh just wait til the black panther guys chime in. At least there is a possibility a wild mountain lion will eventually end up in Bama or it could escape from its sanctuary, but a non existent animal ( black panther) claimer will get defensive. Black jaguars do exist and look extremely similar to a panther or mtn lion Do you know how many large cat sanctuaries have been around? Years ago there was one close to Rogersville. It was well documented and the folks running it found out how expensive it was to feed those big cats. Where’d they end up? I suspect they died cause the would not do well hunting in Alabam You can have a black jaguarandi and a black jaguar, neither are of which is a black mountain lion nor are either in our country unless as stated are in a zoo or sanctuary. There are not many escapees from either annually so the odds of seeing either is likely not high and almost impossible for multiple people in different areas to see the same escapee all over the state but hey what do I know maybe they are everywhere just really good at hiding from the millions of cars, millions of hunters, millions of game cameras and millions of houses in Alabama Nope I’m just simply point out it is possible. Highly unlikely but still possible. Like anything unknown at the time it has to exist first and foremost before it is confirmed. It’s statistically impossible for it to exist and be found at the same moment. I’ve never thought all sitings were accurate rather a small percentage were possible. Things are rarely black and white rather “it depends” more than not. It has been recorded of a mtn lion traveling from out west to the Jersey turnpike and being run over. He wasn’t run over until he got there. How many folks saw him traveling thru. I don’t think anyone claiming to actually seeing a mtn lion or big black cat continuously in an area for any extended time. It’s usually a brief period or mostly just once. So that increases the likelihood of being plausible. Life is rarely all or none but instead endless possibilities

Black panthers used to be more plentiful in areas where whiskey stills needed to remain hidden from kids who roamed the woods instead of holding phones. They're pretty much extinct now.

Everyone here knows that animals abide by state boundaries and will not cross them.

My aunt saw a tan mtn lion digging in her boyfriend's garbage can on Mtn Fork Rd New Market Al around idk 2010 I think. She's been a cat lover her entire life. She knows exactly what it was. Her boyfriend lit it up with a spotlight. They both saw it. She's never been a liar far as I know. She gets mad at me when I tell my bigfoot story. That's how serious she is. She can't handle the truth if it scares her so she gets mad at me and walks off. I've had several females act like that. They create their own world.

I remember back in the early 2000s they swore up-and-down there were no black bears in central Alabama to say so meant you were crazy. In fact, I think I remember that same mindset on here. Meanwhile, I knew people who were seeing them in their yards people were seeing them driving down some of the back roads over here where I live and then one day on highway 5 someone had hit one. About a month later they came out and said yes, there is a small population of black bears in the West Blocton area due to the abandon mines. This isn’t big foot that we’re talking about we’re talking about it’s animals that we know for a fact live in bordering states.

If it dont happen to me, it dont happen. Thats peoples mind set on alot of stuff. Not just whats in the woods. Basically, most everybody knows everything. They saw it and if they didnt, it dont exist. And in their world, i guess thats right.

I aint going to comment on this one but back in my rowdy days i got back to my bronco after a morning duck hunt. Two of my buddys had a blue zerox antifreeze jug tied across the hood said that was all they killed in their spot. I asked what it was and they tried to convince me it was a blue goose. Needless to say i had to drive so i never took any of the blue goose elixer. One night we were coming back from the famous redbucks in Huntland tennessee when they went to screaming stop their was a red dragon in the road and they both seen it

Also deal only in all or none or only black and white or absolutes Life has many shades of gray and only a few things are black and white Heck I took a pic of a western diamond back a few years ago. He was a mile down the road from coondog cemetery I thought it was an eastern but y’all told me otherwise

Here’s an old mt lion story for you.In the fall/winter of 1973-74,there were several sightings of a mt lion in the Queenstown rd area of Trussville.It was covered by the tv and radio news.An old man who lived on Queenstown rd said it killed a pig or two and attacked a Shetland pony.Story I remember is that Jim Fowler from Mutual of Omaha s Wild kingdom came to town to look at the kills and he identified the tracks as a mt lion.

The news stations also warned folks not to shoot it.Even back then the game laws had them listed as a protected species.
