didnt ask for them. I think it had to with old growth hardwoods before pine plantations waylayed soybeans and hardwoods etc....as I said, my daddy grew up in a timber family in sumter/choctaw/greene counties from early 1900's. all hardwoods. he killed cats, as did his uncles and cousins and it was not a big deal when he and I first saw them. It was old hat to him.
Dallas, Wilcox and Autauga as a kid. 2 years ago in Lowndes. We thought nothing of seeing cougars down 41 growin up... happened moreso than not.. One of our members was a MICO guy (miller lumber co.) he ran a pack of beagles and blueticks( thus my name)... it was nothing for folks to see cats running ahead of dogs... I never saw one on a drive and only have seen 3 in woods since 75... rest were in truck at night/early before dawn.
