Thanks for the welcome, been a lurker for years. The ease of finding an easy meal might be part of it, there is a lot more panthers than there was 30 years ago and they sure are doing a number on our deer and hog population.I've got about 15 deer that I feed on my property every day and we lost one of our older does last Dec. to a panther, found her remains, all covered up, about a 1/4mile from the house.We lose half of the fawns every year to panthers, bobcats and bears.
let`s put it this way : did or do these critters have a collar on their neck ? that`s how you decide ?
