These latest sightings and the fact the TWRA is getting out ahead of it now are really interesting to me. From the time I was a little kid, I always heard tales from my grandfather about them and wished they would come back or be found still here intact.

They have had 6 sightings so far some as close to Nashville as near Dickson.

Anyone else as interested in this or am I out on a limb by myself on this one?
Minimal risk to humans because of plentiful game (deer), but having been up in the Dickson County woods; I'd be paying close attention to those "back of the neck" hairs.

Plenty of attacks (and a few deaths) in California each year; but they're getting pressure to come out of the hills for lack of food. Big cats are no joke if they're tracking you . . . and you're not going to know until they're on your back.

. . . But it would be cool to see one . . . way over there on the next ridge.
