I got a call from my girlfriend at work and she went to go feed our puppies outside in dalzell outskirts of sumter sc and she seen a big brown cat that was about 20 yards from her and she ran back inside and called dnr who said its probably a land cougar. DNR said they don't stay in the same spot long and when I got home I was kinda like yeah right well I go to the bathroom and she yells its another one. I stand up and there is a junkyard behind my house and I see a medium size cat sitting on a white junk car about 3 foot tall. I run to get my gun and by the time I get outside its gone. I walk up to the car and there was footprints on the car where the cat was. And a few nights before I heard a wierd noise in the woods sounded like a cat but its not no meow sound but you could tell it was a cat. A week later a co-worker tells me he heard something like I did in the woods by his house. Sounds likes a cat fighting noise or somekind of call they make, but do not let dnr fool everybody they know there here.
