I grew up south of Smithfield (south of Lexington) and we've had quite a few sightings around there. My dad was walking what we call our west pasture, which is bordered by corn on the north, and came across a big area of grass with blood everywhere and only a few bones laying around. We're pretty sure it wasn't from a coyote.
A couple of guys I know came across one on top of deer during opening weekend a few years ago...this was south of Elwood.
