RE: Eastern United States Big Cats???
Yes I beleive there are big cats in the southeast,mid west I have a good friend that is a seasoned hunter of 40years or more,he claims to have seen one cross the dirt road in front of the truck before daylight one morning,he decided not to hunt there again until gun season started,he said that it would be hard to keep the cat from climbing the tree with a bow.I beleive him because he loves to bowhunt more than to eat.I have seen scratchings as high as 5 to 6 feet on a tree one day while walking a creek fishing,dont know what made them but I now carry a pistol around that creek here in Kentucky
