Sweet what are they driving? Are they.....generous? Oh sorry.....
He gave plenty of description , I was the one who didnt pass it on.
he said-- Big as in not a house cat eastimated at 2'6"-3' at the shoulder.
fawn brown with some white on the chest
long tail, tail looked like it was the length of the body
He said that most of the time the cat was in view it was crouching like it was stalking and the tail was twitching
He told me this at about 9pm lastnight I will get more details today
the sighting was between 4-6pm
makes you think a little differently about those predawn treks to the treestand. I think i'm going to take my 45 with me now too. Just in case. As much as i like my bow, don't know that i am good enough to hold off a cat like that with it.

anybody ever seen one here first hand? I struck up a conversation with a stranger about deer hunting and he proceeded to show me a picture of a cougar dragging an 8 pt buck by the neck from one of his game cameras in the southern part of the state. I was skeptical about it, especially since i don't know him well. There are websites with sightings all over the state. I'm an avid hunter. I had never heard of this though. Just wondering if anyone else had seen one first hand. I'm sure someone will post some pics of some hot women, I won't complain about that either.
On serious note, koenig clone makes great point. Sounds like an ideal use for the Taurus Judge as well.
The big cat talk makes me think of the "Michigan Panther" sightings from living in Michigan. Black panthers or black leopards. The latter being less likely have been sighted in Michigan for decades. Lots of evidence about those. Video, droppings, dead animals, etc. They certainly could have come down this way as well.
Google Oakland county panther or michigan panther if you aren't aware of this.
only have 1 question: ARE THESE LEGAL TO HUNT??!!!?? if i see one and it's legal, i will take it
I hunt in Bloomington and we have heard the stories down there. A friend of my brother in laws has a picture of a cat of some sort dragging a deer through the woods on his trail cam. I am sure there is some around, heck I have heard stories of people seeing armidillo's in southern Indiana. I sure would like to see some of the "cat" pictures myself, but I always carry a sidearm while hunting either during bow or gun season. I see plenty of Coyote's but if I see a "cat" I am shooting it. Don't think Indiana has a season per-say but who is gonna argue if you shoot one?
They are in Brown County.
One of the trappers at Atterbury got one in a trap about 3 years ago. There were reports of 3-4 last year. This year that has been about double that in reports.
