My dad came home one day after leaving for an errond. He told me on his way to town while passing through Queen City on FM 74 a black panther ran across the road and nearly got plowed by a sedan. That being said my landlord at the time who worked and owns chicken houses comes to check them every two hours. She would always tell me about the horrifying screaming from out behind them and that it sounds like a woman crying for help. I managed to get a picture of some tracks unfortunately don't have that phone anymore but I can say it was big enough to make any hardass run. I was also throwing out some garbage one night and on the way back inside I heard one at the end of the trailer. I hauled ass inside which is something I heard you're never supposed to do is run because it makes them think you're prey.

I had hacked back into the scrub oak about 15ft to get a close shot at a game trail. I thought an armadillo was coming it made so much noise. It came from the brush and walked directly underneath me. The mosquitos were all over its head and ears, really pestering him. He sniffed of the off can I had dropped on the ground as I climbed the stand and ambled away. I was scared to death. dark black coat, body 4 feet long, stout, big head... I was scared senseless. Texas game wardens and national park people didn't believe me, but I know what I saw. This cat was neither a mountain lion or a bobcat. I've seen them both many times, Too muscular, big head.

It was bigger than a pit bull. I yelled it turned and started slinking away as I ran for my gun. I called the Game and Fish this morning and they tried telling me that it was a house cat. I worked at In-sync in wylie for about 6 months and I know what a panther looks like. There is no doubt what this animal was.

I can say with certainty it was completely black as it was in my headlights on the side of the road crouched to pounce on something, so focused on it's prey it did not move as I passed it. Passing it that close I can say high pretty high certainty from nose to hind quarters its body length 3+ feet. Tail was long, probably 2/3 of body length.<br /><br />I've seen bobcats, hogs, coyotes, racoons, etc,, all kinds of stuff out there. This was none of them, too big to be a feral cat and its nose was not dainty like a regular cat. I stopped and started to back up because it amazingly was still there focused on prey but another vehicle was coming down the road and at that time of night didn't want to cause an accident or something. Figured if I backed up then it finally would run off anyway. Sorry no real proof to offer by a picture (doubt my cell phone would have got a good one at distance at night) and for a split second I had considered running it over for proof with body but when you pass and you aren't 100% sure, do you really want to kill something? I found out, no I didn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810009914256696264.post-20754929121833164252015-09-25T00:03:31.751-05:002015-09-25T00:03:31.751-05:00About 2010 or 2011 in Waco, TX, I saw a medium siz...About 2010 or 2011 in Waco, TX, I saw a medium sized black cat run from the east bank of the Bosque river at Lakeshore dr.

I was driving east on Hwy 380, less than 1/2 a mile west the Hwy 287 junction when a large, dark cat crossed the highway in front of me. It was far too large for a domestic or feral cat. When it first caught my eye, I thought it was a doe, however the movement was certainly feline in nature. It crossed from the north side of the highway to the south which is the outer edge of the Decatur city limits.

But we have moved about 8 miles down from there & are experiencing multiple nights of horrific " woman screams" almost sometimes like a person being stabbed or something very upsetting to me & we have had a calf mutilated & our front neighbor has too - I was just wondering if any large or small farm animals or cattle have been killed b4 in the sightings areas .

She is 5-1/2' in length, nose to rump excluding the 30" tail. She weighs every bit of 240-60 pounds. And she ROARS!!!! <br /><br />How do I know it is a female? She had cubs last Spring. Her nursery is in a forested area near my property. I've seen her. Heard her. Been face to face with her on a few occasions. <br /><br />AG&FC brought out a "bear culvert trap", that had recently had a bear in it...no attempt to camouflage the trap. A few evenings later, my husband and I heard her sniffing around it...she sounds like a Tiger...very deep rumbling sound. She was only curious about the trap and the bait sardines were not a good enticement. She never came near that area again, while the trap was there.<br /><br />When she is agitated she "chuffs" like a Tiger, Leopard and a Lion does.<br /><br />She mated last February and had two cubs. Hearing her interact with them was amazing...her soft calls to them. Once she was in sight...a ways off...I was picking Blackberries while she was in view...she was talking to her cubs the whole time...never saw them at that point.<br /><br />She became nomadic once the cubs were large enough. Other folks have seen her or other big black cats.<br /><br />AG&FC said, "You're seeing a Big Black Dog!" I kid you not! Since when do dogs have 3" knife-like nails? What dog has a 5" nailess track? <br /><br />Even with photos G&F deny her presence. Yes, they aren't the best and are cellphone pictures...still, the creature has very feline profiles!<br /><br />I will be monitoring here...if you at Texas Cripted Hunters will tell me how to get in touch with you via email, I will gladly give you more info and photos. I've learned the hard way NOT to share this cat's location. Folks showing up with guns and traps...is NOT my cup of tea. <br /><br />These cats are on the Federal and World Endangered Species List! The penalty for harming one is $500,000 or more with a mandatory Federal Prison Term, whether or not G&F acknowledge it's presence or not. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810009914256696264.post-54909205065445491442014-01-28T22:47:41.195-06:002014-01-28T22:47:41.195-06:00My 21 year old son and I were out riding in Fisher...My 21 year old son and I were out riding in Fisher County right at dusk when an animal crossed the road in front of us, I did not get a good look at it at first other than it was black and my first thought was it was a pig.
