Our DNR has a history of reintruducing species and denying it all the while.
Given the result of this thread, I gotta ask, where did the WV Game Department plant animals? Colorado?

Just because you've never seen a black one, doesn't mean they don't exist. I have seen a black one, and only one. It was a few hundred yards behind our house. I was squirrel hunting. It was just about dawn.The best source for info about the possibility of cougars in the East is from your local Coon hunters.
Camera's have been around for over a hundred years, can anyone show me a picture of a Black cougar?
There are plenty photo's out there of black Jaguars and Leopards.
I have known three individuals in my life that kept cougars for years, one would actually take his female hunting off the leash. None of these fellows ever heard a cougar scream, whistle-- yes, growl-- yes, purr--yes.
Concerning cougar tales the Tail makes or breaks the tale for me.
Have fun-- J
Boone, I have heard that the Florida panther is a good bit smaller then the western one is, is that true?
... Last year I asked ranchers and farmers around here if people where trapping hogs to eat because of economic conditions because I didn't see-em like I always did and down to a man everyone told me the panthers been tearing -em up.

You are correct... I had this pointed out to me this morning by another co worker who was also lied to. I am not a happy camper. This guy lost all credibility with me. I'm truly sorry if this ruffled anyones feathers. I had conplete trust in this guy. **** he is even our union VP here at work.
