Big Cats in Troup County
In November 2008, during deer season, a hunter sitting in a deer stand hears something coming through the woods. He lifts his rifle and waits for what he thinks is a deer to wander into the clearing. A brown animal steps through the brush and stops. The man is shocked to see the animal is not a deer but is a very large brown cat. He takes aim and fires, killing the cat.
The local news ran the story along with a photo of the cat draped over the man’s shoulders. It was thought at first that the cat was a Cougar but it was later deemed to be a Panther. At first Authorities believed the animal had been in captivity for a while then released or escaped. Now it has been proven that the Panther was not a pet at all. In fact the animal was a Panther that made its way from Florida to Georgia. Now those who witnessed the Panthers and were made to feel stupid are vindicated. Over the years witnesses were told; there are no Panthers in Georgia. My husband, our sons, our daughters, friends, neighbors, and hunters, are among many who have witnessed black Panthers around here for years. If you have proof such as photos, tracks, or droppings the Georgia Wildlife Authorities will investigate.
Authorities have admitted the Panthers are real and they are in Georgia. That is enough for the witnesses.
