❤️❤️❤️🌿🌸🌺🌸🌻🌼🌸🌺🌼🌻🌿…btw…about 6 years ago…my son and I BOTH sat and watched a panther with 2 Cubs for at least 15 minutes while we were hunting. Then, we noticed it was stalking us!!! We only had a compound bow and a couple knives, no crayons at that time…so…we quickly left for the truck! This was in southeast Missouri!

I left a comment on Dearly’s channel when you were talking about your livestock disappearing. We live in Oklahoma and we have had sightings of mountain lions as well as what we call panthers. Local people believe in them but they are not supposed to exist. But I heard one scream one evening right after we moved here. Several of our small dogs disappeared without a trace. I believe they are out there because many people I know have seen them. They are built differently from mountain lions. They are described as black an long and sleek. So I think they exist. Their scream is horrible. Very strange that officials keep denying they are out there. .

I live here in central virginia. About just over an hour from Kevin's home. When I was young, my brother and I got in trouble for saying that we saw this huge black cat that crossed the road in front of us when we were picking blueberries and it was so big that it jumped from the hill on one side of the road and landed in the middle of the road and with one chop made it up the other Hill on the opposite side. Just like we got in trouble for seeing a rattlesnake and no one believed us. Later, a large cat, puma, and a rattlesnake we're seeing in the area.

@@denisebailey3951 Yes a mountain lion was found in the county next to ours. There were pictures of it and strangely nothing much was said about it. I would think the authorities would warn us more about what is out in this part of the country. I don’t let my little dogs outside anymore after dark. A big black bear was also seen on my friends nature cam just a few weeks ago. Really makes me wonder what else is out there. We live in Northeastern Oklahoma and no says anything about them.

@@gloriamitchell2376 I know that scream I heard was like that. Like a woman in terrible fear or agony but something in me knew it wasn’t a human. A friend of my son says he shot one during the night and said it was black and big but shaped differently from a mountain lion. When he went check on it the next morning it was gone! I believe him because his Grandmother believes in them also. We live in a heavily wooded area so anything could be out there and we would never see it.

The puma may have her babies hidden in a den and they need to learn to kill for themselves. I've seen leopards in Africa take young impala to the den for the cubs to learn how to kill them by biting the neck to suffocate the prey. They also have to learn the best places to start eating. Down here in Alabama I've had an old black panther come to the woods next to the house when it was dying and could no longer hunt to feed itself. I kept the dog inside until it passed. I enjoy your and Dearly's videos so much.

Kevin, I can tell you from experience, "experts" don't know diddley! Mountain lions don't exist in my county, supposedly! O.K., what was that clawed, screaming "cat," that attacked our donkey? Funny, how they shot, and killed a pregnant female, a few months, later! Cougars weren't considered endangered, as this years ago---don't have a fit that was killed! But since then, I have a skeptical attitude about expert declarations! Lmao

Now a panther will scream AND cry like a baby so don't think when you hear a baby cry that someone left a baby on your door steps...it"s no baby.. My thing is how did just one animal do all that...it had to be more than one..a mother and a few babies perhaps.. Drink your after supper coffee tonight and God Bless And keep you all safe.

We've forgot to close the chicken coup a few times over the years ( it happens) but our chickens never wondered off too far they would roost in a tree near by and next Morning they were by the coup. On this one occasion we had 3 dead chickens, their blood was drank from the neck? Not eaten nothing but blood drank. Very strange.....

Speaking of fishers. Me and my ex trapped fishers up way in Northern Wisconsin near Upper Michigan. They have a smaller one called a Pine Martin. Those you can not trap. They are a indangered species. But the Fishers are really good hunters. They have some nasty sharp claws. We had one tanned once. Needed a fishers permit and I took trappers safety class, and passed. We'll like 15 years ago. I would not dought you have a puma, the DNR doesn't always let us know what's all out there in the wild.

Hi Kevin. I live in western PA. I have spotted a mountain lion, about 5 years ago, while riding bicycles with my SO. It ran across the street at dusk, on our way home, on a back road. There was zero doubt about what it was. It was terrifying. But my point is, whether they admit it or not, they ARE around here. I could hear its paws thud on the concrete as it crossed the road. That close. So we were not mistaken as to what we saw! I'm an hour outside of Pittsburgh. ETA Idiocracy is a great movie and one of my favorite films.

The AT absolutely has mountain lions 100%. Seen them for myself in the 90’s and early 2000’s when I did section hikes along side the blue ridge parkway, smokies, and in N.J. The granite boulder section(pyramid quarry for the big pyramid near Mt. Laconte .No one has discovered since I found it following a bear trail. I got lost, thought I was back on the AT after a partial road hike) I realized the bear trail cut across the face of a pyramid when I crossed a section that had a landslide exposing the cut stone. This was around 1994.also found a giant stone bowl on this pyramid. standing on its side. About 12 feet in diameter. Used for echo communication from one mountain top to another I think. I saw a modern one in my thirties at New River park in ft. Lauderdale on a kids playground(two of them facing each other at opposite ends of the park. Used for echo communication. You can here a whisper from 100 yards away using them. That’s how I figured out what I found years earlier on that pyramid was used for.

Extirpation is when a particular species ceases to exist in a certain region. It can be from climate, geographic, or man-made environmental/population changes. Cougars & mountain lions still roam areas throughout the US. We had them in "lower Alabama" Florida, upstate New York and currently the Sonoran Desert & Arizona mountains. I can't speak to the northern Midwest since I've never lived there; but, based on what I've read & heard from people who do, the wild cats roam there as well. Take care & stay safe everyone! ❤

As you told the story of what happened I could see it in slow mo..poor baby girl. I really feel for her. I am happy she decided to go back out. Does she stick pretty close to you now? I mean more than normal? You coming out could have made that thing let go.😺 I cant wait to see Dearlys garden video, the potatoes and onions look great and make my mouth water too.. 🥔🧅Actually she released her video when I was about 5 minutes into this one. ... I can imagine how hard it was with them gone and I can see your already getting better rest, I'm glad its over too, but I cant wait to see when you all go next time 😀☀️👀
