I also hunt in the Thompsonville area and the land owner has seen signs posted asking to report any cougar sightings, this was last summer.
He was going to show them to me but they were removed before we got around to it.
Like DougE posted (UM's picture) the cat is way to small to be a cougar, looks like a house cat to me.
I was being sarcastic with the "miniature" black panther comment. lol
