The Georgia DNR says......

the MISSOURI dept of n r for years, decades swore there were no big cats here. few years back they finally ADMITTE they brought them in decagdes back to help control deer population.

they also kill calves, foals, I have seen one 3 times, and neighbors have too. one neighbor saw a black panther couple years back.. ( 4 legged ones).

I saw a black panther is s w GA back bout '75. of course, none there according to DNA. ha! they are in Fa. though, and these cats migrate and travel many miles when they want to.
