It really shook him up not having seen one. Lester is a small fellow and always carries a 22 and a 38 with him pistols with him at night. He said it had a long tail and thought it was a panther at first but then saw the pointed nose. He said he was too afraid to shoot it. He said he left all his spot lights on his headache rack the face all the way around. Till he got his loaded up. When he has a wrecker call in that area he comes and gets me. We saw it one night kinda freaky, One was also spotted in Belmont MS where I work didnt know the lady but she dsecribed exactly what we saw and to the t she drew it. It was right by where we work at the Landfill.
As for thoughts on it there used to be an exotic owner in this area when Emus came out in the mid eighties, Dad was working one Sunday morning on his company truck getting ready to go to work for a week. our old half white sheperd we had at the time Ajax hopped up in the truck and barked. He was fond of dad cause he was the one that found him on a road job. Dad got him down and a minute later he hopped up again. and growled and was looking stright back when dad turned around there was this 6 foot tall bird 3 feet from him. Us not having ever seen this other than on Wild kingdom on Sunday nights was a shocker not to mention being snuck up on. Dad chased him off and they moved one but had gotten inot troublle after that for not having liscenced animals.
On the cougar deal Ive seen discussions on the Mississippi wildlife site that blasts anyone seeing a mountain lion cougar sighting as BS. They all say its a bobcat or something else. When I was dating Amy I had fallen asleep on her parents couch and they left me there my oldest brother that was living with me at the time was here with his little dog an my 4 sheperds. I had trouble with there pen si I hed let the 2 males inside for the night. He heard a noise that sounded alot badder than a bobcat scream dad who lives across the woods in a break of trees on the main highway had heard it and our neighbor with a 4 acre yard and his kids heard it. There was about five families that heard it. it kept walking around in circles doing the same thing. and it was moving at a steady pace across the old road we live on and right behind pops house. Teddy with the big yard was out with his smal lchildren and put them up, He has a small yippie dog and she took up to maintain radio silence it seems dad and Teddy both said not a dog was to be heard. My brother kept trying to get dad to leet him let my Sheperds out but dad wouldnt let him. The bad thing was when dad and his other highway neighbor wand another couple were walking this way they could hear it walking the other way. then when they walked back it followed and when they stopped it stopped. If I would have been here with my shotgun and light along with the others I would have taken my big male track dog and a leash and we would have found it. We found bigger tracksthan a BC but the Game wardens swears it impossible for them to live here. But we have an abundance of deer. I had one warden thats seen/ heard it and he says SHoot shovel and shush as its protected but He has small kids and pets to.

Why protect what don't exist and how do you shoot it??
