Twice this year I have been on stand Bow Hunting and I have observed a black animal that was moving at a good speed through the woods. It was too small to be a bear, and too fast to be a hog, and it definately wasn't a dog/coyote/wolf. Friends have told me rumors of panthers starting up in these parts. I did see the tracks that I think were left one time and it did resemble that of a large dog or cat. I hunt in the St Robert/Waynesville/Fort Leonard Wood area of Missouri. Anyone else have any experience of an encounter like this?
