This pussy will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

This is about 10 miles from me. Everyone here is assuming a mountain lion in the area, but I’m leaning towards chupacabra.
What round for mythical goat suckers? |

Just came here to post this... my wife asked if we had a gun big enough to kill it... nope not yet

If I were in Kentucky I would leave my nine at home. Even best millimeter might not even be enough.

Does KY fish and game acknowledge the existence of mountain lion/cougars/pumas/whatever you want to call them?
Because VA Dept of Game and Fisheries does not, despite evidence of their existence. |

Three horses, a pit bull and Husky were all found dead at the scene. Police believe the animals were killed early Sunday morning by what could be a "large cat" or other animal. View Quote |

View Quote Sounded just like this. Female Mountain Lion Screaming for mates in front of trail camera Southern Illinois is a perfect habitat for them. Lots of big woods and white tail are like cockroaches here. |

View Quote PA did/does the same. In a PA hunters safety class in about 1994 somebody asked about lions. The Game cop said they didn't exist in PA. The volunteer instructor said that the PGC had to say that because, since Eastern Lions at the time were considered endangered (they were declared extinct not long ago) the PGC would have to spend a shitload of money on habitat work and protection and all that and they didn't want to. The PGC cop said nothing in response to this. PGC always said that any cougars found were "escaped pets", because that's a thing apparently. People started pointing to DNA analysis saying the cats were all from the West. Except (1) cats are going to spread East as their population grows and (2) one of the reasons the Eastern Lion got delisted was because they determined via DNA that all North American lions are the same species. So they're here. Or they will be. I'm looking forward to it, personally. Too many deer, too many liberals hiking. |

Ohio maintains that there are no mountain lions.
Yet, about 5 miles from me, State highway patrol chased one down the highway. They later clarified their statement that it was a bobcat... Yeah, I'm sorry. You don't get a mountain lion and bobcat confused. |

Mountain lion isn't gonna take on a horse..............is it?

If a state's wildlife department officially acknowledges the existence of big cats, they have to come up with a management program for said kitties, which costs big bucks. Much cheaper to just call it a big bobcat sighting.

I deer hunt down that way. Looking like an AR might be the weapon of choice this year rather than a bolt gun. Here kitty, kitty!

If a predatory ( healthy ) cat such as a Cougar/Mt. Lion, why would it go all out on 3 horses and 2 dogs in one night, makes no sense to me considering their instincts to prey, kill and eat one animal at a time.
My guess its a rabid cat or bear. |
