About 1951, on Lawson Road, 8 miles south of Little Rick, Arkansas, a friend and I were walking one afternoon when a large black panther ran across the road, from woods on one side to woods on the other. We were lucky that it wasn’t hungry, I guess. Panthers were common in central Arkansas back then, so I was somewhat surprised years late to read that they were extinct and supposedly did not exist there.
ReplyDeleteI saw one cross a dirt road about 12-14 feet in front of me on the LA/TX line in the Sabine river bottom in DeSoto Parish LA about 6 miles below Logansport. I was riding an ATV and it happened back in 1990. It was a huge black cat with a small pointy head. Its neck seemed bigger around than its head. I thought that was odd. It was about 7-8 feet long tail and all. Several others I know have seen them in the same area. You can find lots of huge cat tracks in muddy parts of clearings around there. People says we're "crazy" or "lying" but I really saw one...very close....and it wasn't a little kitty cat. It was in the evening before sundown so it was daylight and there's no mistaking what I saw. I'm so glad I got to see one. It was a thrill!
