Panthers, are they in Mississippi?

Well, I wanted to get this forum started right. I don't know if panthers are in Mississippi, but I like to think that there could be one or two here somewhere.

 

[MATT K]

Oh no, not here to! There might be a slight chance panthers/cougars/pumas/mountain lions could be in or passing thru MS. But, they are all TAN colored.

 

[julian]

I agree with you that they most likely would be tan colored. Melanistic panthers/jaguars are very uncommon where these animals are known to exist.

 

[DOUGLASVEST]

Yep, saw one eating out of my garbage can here in wayside ms!

 

[mrgoodtime]

never seen a black on, but tan ones do exist in ms

 

[jryana]

I have a pet one.

 

[rees guide]

have seen one on three different occasions, all three times were within a mile and a half of each other. Could have been the same cat, all the times were in different years also.

 

[Eagle 66]

there is a good argument to support tan large cats. There is a better argument NOT to support black cats

 

[beaudog]

Losing one forum wasn't enough for ya'll? Who cares?

When I was young I saw a large black cat like creature run across a trail in front of me while on a four-wheeler one day. Had never heard of a black panther at that time but now I believe that is what I saw. May or may not have been one but i do know if you spend enough time in the woods you will see and hear things you can't explain.

I don't know about panthers in MS but there's a nice cougar work'n my bank if yall are interested. 

 

[beaudog]

Interested.

 

[julian]

Bow Hunter, we need the bank name and street address.

 

[ats]

plenty of painters in MS.  I think some might be having a slow time with work right now, but it will pick back up eventually

lol I knew that was coming!!!

 

[limhangr]

bow hunter, i'll take the GPS corrdinates if you got them handy.

 

[beardsandbones]

I have saw what I though was a black panther but everybody says there is none around.

 

[wyldfire61]

I saw a black panther one night in Louisiana while driving from a friends house. He had seen it several times. I have never seen one in Mississippi.

 

[kulikowski]

Panthers, maybe.... but the cougars are everywhere and they will cost you a trip to the chiropracter
