On the four wheeler earlier today on my dirt road and drove up to what I think was the same female I saw a month ago, just had one cub with her, the little one has grown to about 30 lbs, stopped 20 yards from her and she waited for the cub to cross the grade to the same side she was on and they walked into the oak hammock, She showed no aggression and really no fear. Most of the cats I encounter are kind of ambivalent to my presence. Panthers have never been hunted here so maybe that's why they are so mellow. There biggest threat is getting hit on roads, lose more than a dozen each year in my county.
