Does this thing really exist in South Louisiana? I think my buddy and I seen one around Lake Bouef while fishing. I Couldn't get my phone out fast enough. It wasn't a bobcat, casue this thing was a little bigger than my 100lb lab. We were about 25 yards away.

How long was the tail, what color? Did you go to the spot and get pics of the tracks?

i personally think they don not exist in Louisiana. as many gun packing rednecks in this state someone would have shot one and put on the web.

I will swear until I die I saw one in the Salvador WMA in 98. I could never prove it but it was there.

Yes, melanistic leopards and jaguars are rampant throughout the continental US. It's just the spotted ones that can't seem to thrive.

Guy at our camp said he used to see them dead all the time on the side of the road in Morgan City.

He also said his dad shot one one night out of a tree and it landed on his uncle

I used to hunt between Woodville MS and Natchez MS... which is basically on the state line for LA / MS. We had them there. Caught a few pics on a trail cam. But, like all cats, they dont stay in 1 place too long. They keep moving.

I see no reason why they wouldnt be in LA at some point. And there have been sightings with pictures.

edit: NEVERMIND. lol... it was a cougar.

Hell, I trapped one not too long ago...

























Though in all seriousness, I've spent a lot of time in New Mexico and seen cougar before. That said, by far the biggest one I ever saw was NW of Gulf Shores (AL) about 12 years ago. Big arse sumbitch ran across the road right in front of me about 6 am around County Road 12. I was stunned

My dad swears he saw a big arse dark cat in lake bouef a few years ago. An old man also says he saw one in a tree back there.

Now for the important question. How many fish?
