Never. I don't want Jesse, Al and JWP on my front porch for the next year or so. For real!

Mountain lions can have a genetic disorder causing them to have black (dark charcoal grey) hair just like the black coyotes you see sometimes. The chances of someone seeing a mountain lion are extremely rare and a black one even moreso obviously. But it is possible. I don't believe any of the stories however until someone actually shoots one. And yes I would shoot one and sell to the highest bidder. maybe grey but not black. There is a pssibilty that the subspecies in the everglades has a black geen but none as ever been documented. Black mountain lions DO NOT exist. If you shoot one it will be in your dreams.

Just for he record i never said mtn lion or cougar, i said black cat. Im like most of you and have never seen one but wouldnt dought that some people have released one or two black jaguars or leopards because they got to big or to expensive to keep.

If I saw one I would be forced to shoot it just to settle this argument once and for all, have the DNA tested to identify what all species it was. Would not mind if there was a fine. Too many of THF members have done things that could be punished by fine and/or jail time.

you shoot a black cat in texas, better start shoveling or your have to explain to the game warden why you shot a jagarundi Shoot it Ned, its coming right for you!!!!  On a serious note, I saw a large black cat, much bigger than a bobcat, that had been hit in the middle of Hwy 277 in Haskell. Was in a hurry to get to my customers business and didn't think about getting a picture when I left as I went a different way. I could kick myself.

If you are able to remember stupid stuff the next day, your doing it wrong.
At least anything worthy of mentioning.

Friends of mine live in secluded area out in the middle of about 300 acres and his wife said she saw a large cat with long tail crossing a hay meadow. Was wondering what she actually saw until we were coming up out of the bottomland a couple months ago and i saw it myself jump into a thicket. It was black and not as big as a mountian lion. Henderson/Van Zandt Co. line.

Black panthers do exist. Well hell man, if they're armed, that changes everything and all bets are off...I'd definitely shoot. Taxidermy costs would eat you alive though.

I would not shoot one as it would most likely be bulletproof like unicorns.

Saw a u tube video of a older man and his daughter in a tree stand on a food plot and they had video on a big cat coming into the food plot and then walk off. I think it was in another southern state. cool video and no dought it was a big cat. Here is a video of a "big black cat" - not a black cougar, not a black mountain lion. But of course...they don't exist...  Language in some of the comments are not for young eyes. [video:youtube]v=tOHFT9RUW3I[/video]

If that was truly an African Leopard, what are the laws about shooting it? When some regular African lions escaped south of my parents place in Cisco, the game warden told us to shoot them. Same deal here?

Nope. If the animal isn't considered a common nuisance or source of meat, it gets a pass from me. Me 2
