I have seen just about any kind of wildlife you can think of in the southeastern United States, grew up hanging out in the woods, on the water, or in the marshes for most of my life, but I have never seen a wild big cat, not even a FL Panther. I do hope to be able to one day, to be in the presence of such a creature must be such an awe inspiring experience.

Same here except in the North Eastern US. I have never seen a big cat or a bear live in the wild although I have both, actually very rexcently, on my trail cam. Bobcat and Bear. Not sure if Bobcat is actually a "big" cat but theyrr around 20-30 lbs.

Yeah, I wasn't including Bobcats in my comment, I have literally seen hundreds of those, and black bear are very common where I live now. Some woods I used to spend a lot of time in, it was common to see bobcats a few times a week. I have even been walking in the woods, and come across a big mound of dirt and pine needles, and there will be an animals leg sticking out. First time I found one, I was confused as to what would do this to a fawn whitetail, and then I found out that is what Bobcats do with their kills. Came across those type mounds many times. Let me tell you, there is no eerier sound than to be walking in the woods in the pitch dark, and hear a Bobcat in heat calling out very nearby, a story for another time. Reply
