Re: GA panther
that fella got what he deserved. i would expect the same if i shot a bear coming up my tree. but would do everything to keep from shooting bear or panther. pepper spray works on cats too i am sure.

Re: GA panther
The dipsh!t was wrong in shooting it, but I liked some of the comments on that story. Throw him to the other panthers!!!

Re: GA panther
a big cat like that under your stand would rattle anybody. can't really blame him for being scared cuz that cat could have gone from looking at him to being in his lap in the blink of an eye. did he panic and over react? I guess only he knows for sure. it's a shame it was killed. we hear of panthers attacking hikers and bikers in Ca all the time. definately the time for the 3- S rule.

Re: GA panther
I guess the irony I find in this article...is the fact a "Florida" panther was 70 miles S. of Atlanta. The experts swear they are no where else except S. Fla. I gotta LOL at that

Biologists say panthers, a cousin of the cougar and mountain lion, once ranged as far as Texas and Tennessee. The panther that met his demise in Georgia was about 500 miles north of the panthers' normal range in South Florida.
There has been speculation that the panther roamed into Georgia in search of a mate or was a captive set free. His DNA showed that he was sired by a panther in South Florida, said Tom MacKenzie, of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
