re: How often do you believe someone when they say they saw a Cougar in SE Louisiana?

Never saw a cougar, but I positively without a doubt saw a black panther in the late 90’s in Darlington La in my old hunting club....a distance of 30yds, positive without a doubt would swear on my children at eye level at that...I still get goosebumps thinking about it. Scouting, walking a creek in the sand, get to a bend and see a heavily used deer trail...banks are about 12’ high so I parallel the trail and start climbing up to find a suitable tree to climb next to the thicket....when my head crests, he’s there at 30 yds in a crouch position, he shits his fur and cuts a 180 and starts heading toward the thicket....I got weak and had to collect myself before moving on. I was relatively new to the club and really didn’t want to say anything cause it would sound crazy....when I did say something, they were all like, yeah, we see those here! Like it was nothing....I was like WTF?

That's wild!! would have scared the mess out of me as well. Like I said previously I wont say its impossible they're around here. I've been involved with hunting/ being in the woods my whole life and i have seen some huge bobcats, and i know that it would be really easy to think you saw a cougar/ black panther if you walk up on the biggest cat you have most likely ever seen outside of a zoo in the woods.
