Strangest thing you have run across while hunting

[justincorbell]

I saw a big cat between nome and sour lake on my old deer lease, he wasn't black but was deff. A mountain lion/cougar or whatever you wanna call em.

It was a hot July night last year summer in south texas. My buddy mike and I decided to run the dogs on this piece of property that is right across the road from a Reynolds plant called la Quinta. It was a grain field that was getting alot of damage by hogs/javalinas So we thought hell lets go give it a try. We turn the dogs loose and right away we get on a pack of javalinas, get the dogs off an keep moving along. After running most the field we decided to load the dogs up and head home, well half way between the field I begin to see a pair of bright red eyes right by the milo field which is something we see most of the time, but what caught my attention was that the eyes were alot taller then the milo plants which are normally chest high in this area... So I ask mike to stop and to throw his high beams on the eyes to verify what it is. Soon as he did so it got dead silent we both stared at that thing in awww because it was standing upright like a human would on two legs... We then decided to shine the spotlight on it and when we did it moved in a very distinct way like trying to figure out what we were. It swayed its head left and right dropped down on all fours then made a run for the field we could hear it breaking and rusting in there sounded like something big. Just couldn't believe what we had just seen we drove up to where it was standing and the dogs begin to throw out a devastating howl... Was gonna look for tracks but after seeing that thing and hearing the dogs howl which never happens I wanted out of there pronto! hahaha my buddy ask if we should turn the dogs loose I said your crazy lets go I don't like this. To top it off I look at the clock and 3 am on the dot idk but that story still makes my hair stand up when I tell it because I know what I saw and it wasn't a creature I'm familiar with God knows what it was... I wasn't gonna stick around to find out ill tell you that

[justincorbell]

all the guys at our lease are gonna be on the look out for the BLACK cat this year and will hopefully get to ground check him. I am not a liar and know what i saw. It was not the sun angle or shadows, I saw it in two different spots and it was the same BLACK each time. It may not have been native to texas but when i looked though my 18 power scope at the back of its head all of my doubts were gone I had just shot at a black cougar, leopard, moutain lion, panther or wtf ever ya want to call it. monterquest here i come

I have hunted with you a few times travis, you may be alotta things but you never struck me as a liar

1 more to add, doesn't compare to some of ya'lls encounters but it made me and my buddy a bit uneasy..........My buddy david has a hair over 2000 acres just south of uvalde......beautiful land, anyway we were up there filling feeders and dove hunting before deer season, we decided to make a few stands one night to kill a coyote or bobcat for the hell of it, anyway we are about 1/2 mile from their house driving down a white rock road on the property in the middle of nowhere, we turned a corner and noticed something small laying in the road......we pulled up to it and got out to take a look (keep in mind it is the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere) we walk up on a freshly killed rabbit with its head taken smooth off and not another scratch on its body layin in the middle of the road..........obviously an animal of some sort killed it but it was still a bit unnerving........we ended up tossin it in the truck (no reason to leave perfectly good bait in the road haha) we drove about a 1/4 mile further into the property and set up on a pipeline crossing looking down into a draw and left the rabbit tied up into a tree about 5' off the ground with a piece of muletape down in the draw along with the speaker to my fox pro about 6' from it on the ground and started calling.........we were alternating between lookin left, right and down into the draw, we were set up about 125yds from where we tied the rabbit in the tree and sat for about 30 minutes calling on and off, I killed a coyote on the pipeline to the left and we got out and picked it up, on our way back through the draw we realized that the rabbit was gone and NO B.S. when my buddy picked up the speaker there was blood on it, apparently whatever grabbed it did it with some authority because it bit through the muletape........crazy night.........We blew it off and figured it was either a cat or coyote but it was just really wierd the way everything happened, finding it dead in the road, tying it up and then having it taken again without ever seeing the culprit..........things like this are what keeps me going back for more!

1st. There are black cougars.

2nd. The thing you saw standing up, I'm not saying this is it for sure, but i have seen about 8 or 9 whitetail doe in breeder pens across the country who stand on their hind legs to look at you when your doing something they are interested in. I know that's not alot of them in comparison to the total numbe that I'm around all the time, but it's enough that I don't think it funny or odd anymore.  I'm not talking about momentarily lifting up and then going back down, I'm saying I've seen die that have it down as a habit to stand upright to watch me and the guys and can hold the pose for a good while.
It would make sence that in a grain field one would stand to see you and then get down to bolt.

I'm (again) not doubting you, just saying it's possible.

Same thing I thought bro... But red eyes on a deer? Every deer I've seen has either blue or kinda greenish blue eyes when shined on by a light that's what freaked me out, and this place doesn't have deer :/ so yeah kinda spooky lol I don't wanna see it again ill tell you that

Figured nobody would believe me so just didnt say anything about it then a ranch hand at the big ranch here said they're starting to have them over there I asked him wat it was he said a jaguarundi then I googled it and sure nuff that's wat it was

Ohhhhhhhh.... Now it makes more sense as why you keep telling everybody about the naked black cougar you seen...  I was thinking mange, but I had a whole different cougar in mind!!! 

[Reuben]

Not real strange but me and two of my buddies were hunting close to mud creek in reklaw tx one night and strolled up on a good sized (75-80lbs) black cat standing on a downed tree. He was so black all you could see was a faint out line and two huge yellow eyes. My partner had a .22 pistol and was gunna take a shot at about 40 yards and I told em "heck no!! You'll just piss it off!!" So we eased on out the way we came and went to the opposite side of the property to hunt that night.

That next year we did walk up on a tombstone out it the middle of no where.. Couldn't even read what it said it was so old. Perfect shape of a tombstone tho.
