He laughed and said he hadnt said anything because he knew no one would beleave him. Last year my son and I were hunting 300 yards from my first sighting on a pipeline where a creek crosses. I saw what I thought was a pig come out. I grabbed my binocolars and told my son to get ready. When I saw it I told my son not to shoot its a cat. When it came out of the grass we could see that its tail was as long and curved. Guys yall dont have to beleave me and can bash me all you want but I know what I saw on both occassions. Both walked like a cat, looked too big to be a bobcat and were black in color.

Jaguarundi. I dont' think I'd ever call anyone crazy for seeing a cat larger than a bobcat that is dark in color. Jaguarundis, while they aren't extremely common in Louisiana, do occur. But when people start talking about seeing a cat the size of a mountain lion or a bear or something that is black and its a "black panther" and you can't tell em otherwise, yeah that's crazy talk.
