RE: Black Panther seen while deer hunting
it's not a panther. It is a mexico cat. similar to the cougar, but black. they came from mexico and are accually very prevlent in south texas with many sightings throughout the state. I live in Central Texas and have never personally seen one, but have heard of several people who have over the years. My grandmother told us that when she was younger, she was walking out to her garden and saw one. This was at least 50 years ago. Most people do describe them as panthers, but they are not as large. If your ever out camping and hear a very loud almost woman screaming type of yell, you have a good speciman of a mexico cat within a 1/2 mile of you. userally they hang out in the river bottoms.
