Cougar in Washington County

Never fear. There are so many cat breeds both domestic and wild, it could still be something wild. I wasn't thinking cougar but more like a small leopard with that long tail. Looks a bit furry (and plump) though.

Yeah I can see the resemblance. lmao. How in the world did you think jack was a good candidate for comparative analysis. LMAO. I don't have much room to talk. My basset looks like a pig with short legs. No crap. Paint her pink and shed be a midget pig.

Hey for what it's worth? A fellow church member said that he was headed home from work. It was 5:00 pm on St Route 83 and a large dark brown cat with a long tail, sprang out of the corn field on his right, hit the yellow line and leaped in the beans across the road in front of him. It happened in a matter of seconds. If this is true, the large cat is on our hunting lease. The bean field is part of our 400 plus acres on that side of the road. It makes you wonder when walking to the stand at dark! Lol. This happened on Friday the 27th.

Heard that one of the news stations out of Cleveland was mentioning a bobcat that was spotted and it made the evening news. Any TOOsers hear about this?

That was in Colombia Station out in Lorain County. A bobcat wouldn't weigh much different than Mike's cat Jack, lol!

True story: Before KR and moved to where we now live (we moved here in 96 so this would have been 95 or so), we were returning to our home from Paint Creek Lake after a day of fishing. As we pulled the boat up the big hill on 753 towards Greenfield, a huge black cat nestled into ditch on the side of the road. KR and I just looked at each other for a few seconds as we had both seen it...it was enormous. In HS, we had a full body mount of a mtn lion in our Biology room. This cat was about the same size.
A year or so later after we had moved into our current home, I spoke with the landowner from across the road for the first time as I was our getting our mail and he was working on a cattle gate close by. Through our conversation I asked him if he had ever seen or suffered any losses from a big cat. I told him the story about us seeing the big cat so close to our new home the year before. With all the honesty in his bones my neighbor said, "it doesn't surprise me any. Back in the 70's, I shot the monster that doesn't exist"... "What's that, Mr. Parr? Bigfoot?".... "Yes". Folks, he was dead serious and finished by telling me the entire story. Bigfoot, it seems, was rustling through some lumber he had stashed on his back porch when Mr Parr saw him. He "hit him with both barrels", and Ol Bigfoot just shook it off and sauntered into the surrounding woods! This was the first conversation I ever had with my colorful neighbor and I tried my hardest not to laugh. But hey, he didn't laugh when I told him my big cat story... Having lived and hunted around here for so long now, I no longer worry about that elusive black cat, but swear on everything I own, its true that we saw one.
