My son and I were just out checking traps and looking for sign we were debating on trying to run dogs this weekend. We were heading out of the pasture turn onto the gravel road and saw a tan, long, cat run across the road in my head lights..needless to say I threw the spot light at my son and hit the gas, chasing this sucker and trying to get a good look at it..I knew what I saw but I wanted a better look at it, we were hauling a$$ down the gravel road and could see it clearly. It was a big cat NO house cat unless someone has a 6 ' or so long 120 lb cat running around their house. When we first got on this place my son and his buddy told me a story about seeing something grab a small pig in the tall grass and never saw what it was, I just played it off and didn't give it another thought but I saw this sucker myself...
When I started my company I got a call to come into a nieghborhood off Westhiemer Rd at Hwy 99 (for those who know the area) by Judge Adoffuss of Ft. Bend County, he told me the residents were having pets disappear and some of them were talking about a big cat. It was on TV and a big story about a escaped tiger then a mountain lion, the stories went everywhere I was getting calls left and right about cat sightings everywhere. One day while I was scouting the area in heavy brush I rounded a clump of brush and was tracking a coyote when a 15' tree in the field was ruffed up by something jumping out of it. The area the tree was in was marshy so I walked over but didn't see a track one, there was one dry spot that all I could figure is whatever was in the tree knew to hit that dry spot and bound to the next. I never saw the cat or the animal in that tree but here we go 14 years later and I see a cat first hand...well you know what time it is right....time to track down the ghost of the woods and have a mount to go with the story....
