Cougar

[Mark@Sea]

Well, I've heard there are no mountain lions in East Tennessee, but my wife has e-mailed of something making a sound 'like a woman screaming' very close to the house, the last two nights running. The dogs are going nuts, too...

Since fish & game say 'no such animal', any alternate suggestions? Chipmunk with an attitude, perhaps?

As it is just her with a very old dog and a puppy, I told her to take a pistol and a shotgun with her when she goes outside.

Bobcat maybe?

[molonlabetn]

Bobcat? They scream.

[KahrMan]

Bobcat? They scream.

Yes. A bobcats "scream" is a little higher pitched than a cougar but is very similar. It is usually compared to a babies scream instead of an adults.

As much as cougars move around, it wouldn't surprise me if it was one.

By the time this bobcat saw me, he didn't have time to scream.

Cool! What'd you shoot that one with?

A gun, stupid.

EDIT: Now watch him pull out a William Tell story and say he shot it with an arrow.

Naw, I jumped out of a tree and showed him a picture of Chuck Norris and he died of fright.

I was deer hunting at the time so I shot him with a .30-06 Little bit of overkill but that is all I had with me.

[Angus]

Ohhh hyeah, cougars....mountain lions...woot. Camped around a few, made me pee a little.

[Mike.357]

An old timer who was a regular at a liquor store I worked P/T at a few years ago told me a story of him shooting a panther the night before. I would not be suprised if Cougars/Panthers or whatever were still around. Lots of open land yet in the mountains.

Good advice for Sue to keep a shotgun handy. Worst I saw at your place was a skunk. But Daniel stayed in his tent so there was no problem.

Would you accept the TWRA being full of *****?

[xd shooter]

I was under the impression the red & gray fox was the ones that sreammed like a woman or child in trouble.

[Guest bkelm18]

We have a couple Bobcats on exhibit where I work, and yes, they do scream like a woman or child. Scared the sh*t out of my the first time I heard it.

Is that a reason to get a paid membership, or not to get a paid membership?
