There's a population in wright county mo . It is big like a jaguar. Has spots like jaguar too. At least ten to twenty people have seen them . I seen it twice . Once at 2 to 3 hundred yards with banichlars. My neighbor was watching it with me. Second time it walked from 2 hundred to within 80 yds of me that's when I noticed the weird big dark circles on it . And how muscled up it was .big cat.
Where are you on the river I used to play on it many years ago back when the town of Times Beach was there. Had kinfolk that lived there My Grandmother was married to a pig farmer that had land that run along the river used to go there a lot when I was a kid. Lot of water has run down that river since then!
There are a number of people in Missouri, sadly, who have been given permits to have exotic animals. One such person lived not too far from me and at least three times their big cat got away and warnings were put out. So, it is possible that it is what happened and this guy and his friends actually saw one. However, I once thought I saw a black panther slinking through the woods behind my house but then I saw it quickly climb up and around and around a tree after a squirrel or something. When I got my binoculars and checked it out, I could see that it was actually a Fischer cat, which is not actually feline but in the weasel family, I believe, and more common in Missouri woodlands. They can be very aggressive and dangerous too.
That's what game warden said it was a loose pet. This has been around county last twenty years at least. No fucking pet . There is a breading population there not telling
There is at least one black panther for sure. No doubt about it in Missouri. Back in 2003, I was driving back home taking the back road TT from Versailles Missouri. After picking up my child from school to our home. I had a car that was very loud with a muffler that dragged over the rocks and dirt. I turned a corner and I saw the Black panther on one side of the road coming from a creek. It was all shiny and beautiful. It was huge and I actually had to stop my car to let it pass in front of me. This whole time with all my loud car noises. (The dragon muffler the loud motor and the stereo blasting) It never looked my way even though I had to stop the car. It just strutted slow all the way across the road in front of me. The muscles on this thing was amazing and it was so beautiful I can't even explain. All shiny just came out of the creek. Beautiful. As soon as it walked into the big tall weeds to my left side, I stuck my head out pretty much from waist up. Looking to see if I could see it cuz it just disappeared into the big tall weeds. Then instantly, I got chills all down my body & I sat back down in the seat & rolled my window up as fast as I've ever done before. This wasn't like I think I maybe have saw something or on the corner of my eye. I might have seen something. This was most definitely a good 10 seconds of a beautiful gorgeous, strong muscular and very confident black panther that slowly crossed the path in front of me from my right side, the creek to the left side. The tall weeds just strutting very slow and never once even looked my way. This is the king of the jungle. Now This is the second sighting. I have saw him and my daughter as well. We were going into town from our house taking w3 going towards Versailles. We had left our gravel Road and hit w3 Road which is a blacktop. We only made it about the length of a football field I would say and look to the left and there he was. Down the hill, a ways and very dusty and dirty. So I turn my car to face it with my high beams on. I got my camera and hit video. Open my car door to video it down that it was down the hill. Quite a ways. It crouched down and all the sudden it was just coming up fast at us towards the headlights. When my daughter opened her door it creaked and I knew she was getting out like I was and so my video you didn't get to see the panther all you saw was it jumbling and me saying get in the car get in the car get in the car!!! And then You can hear my daughter say, " Mama, where did it go?" I said, I don't know.". You can hear it in our voices. We were terrified. I mean it's not like a dog to where you can see it. Run the legs and everything. This thing was so fast and once it crouched down it was like it was coming up the hill at us like nothing I've ever seen before. It was just coming straight for those headlights not scared of anything. And here is our third and last proof that there was and probably still is a large black panther in Missouri by lake of the Ozarks. By my home. (W~3 MM~7 Gravois arm of the lake.) A very close friend of mine, (Nathan Henry) asked me if I would watch his pitbull (Chance) for a couple of days. Now chance the dog is like Houdini. He can get out of anything when he's tied up and I knew this. So my daughter and I needed to go into town to get some groceries. I tied the collar around his neck so tight that I felt bad like I was choking him. To make sure he didn't get loose. After getting groceries my daughter and I were driving down the hill and pulling into our driveway and there's no chance in the collar which was right next to my bedroom door leading into the house. I hollered chance chance. He stood up from the weeds in the yard and I was relieved until he turned to walk towards us and I saw the other side of him and his intestines were hanging out. I freaked out and called Nathan. He said I'll meet you at the veterinary office. We put him in the car. My daughter freaking out and trying to hold his guts into him with a towel and I drove as fast as I could to the vet's office taking the shortcut gravel Road. Chance lived. Thank God but the vet said this was done by a very large cat. Most definitely a very very large cat. You have to realize I had an Earth contact home so he was tied up right next to my bedroom door and had a concrete wall on one side of him and a collar so tight. I don't know how he got out of it but he fought for his life with only one side of him protected with the wall. He fought off that panther but I'm telling you, I don't know how he lived. Also, I didn't have a lawn mower or anything around my house and I lived in the middle of the woods with no neighbors or anybody around us. But I had a weed wacker. I called it. It's like the grim reapers sickle. I guess they call it. Anyway. I used to do like golf swings around the house and get all the weeds cut down real short because of snakes and stuff. Well one day I saw a large pile of poop on one side of my house and I had a couple that were my friends over and he had went out and said that's not dog s*** that's cat and I laughed at him and he said seriously look at all the hair in it and I just said he's crazy what cat's that big hahaha not thinking. Well the next day on the other side of the house was another large pile of crap. I called my friends and he said I'm coming over and then he called conservation. They came out and said yes. This is very large cat and he's marking his new territory. The reason he had a new territory is because the last place we had seen him this lady came from out of town and she bulldozed all the trees over for acres. Had a white picket fence put up all the way around this place and had her horses there. Well when this happened they found a holler. A big cave like hole where they found so many deer carcasses, dog, chicken bones, & some guts from a cow. He had drug them home and would eat them there I guess. So since that lady did that to her acres, the panther decided to move over to my area. I'll tell you what, I didn't let my daughter out to go exploring like she used to do since she was 3 years old. We love that place and we were moving and not because of the panther but because of the school district was s*** in Versailles. I wasn't selling the house. I just locked it up and moved to the city for Ray Peck School district for my daughter. So I don't know anything after that but take my word for it. There is most definitely a beautiful big black panther in the lake of the Ozarks area. Any questions or concerns or whatever you are free to get a hold of me anytime. My daughter is proof also. She's seen everything as well. Angie & Kendra Smith. angietriumphh.d.rider@gmail.com
We had been in far NorthEast Texas, Sulphur Springs, for the April 2024 Solar Eclipse. Going home, my wife used Google to plot out the fastest route to take us from I30 to Vicksburg, MS on the first day. It was raining - more like a “drown-pour”. Google was sending us through Northwest Louisiana to all these ultra-rural roads, some without visible names or Route numbers. The rain kept pouring non-stop and the rural roads were beginning to show signs of flooding soon. We were directed to take this “farm” road with no homes on it. Left turn, turn to the Right, turn Left. Suddenly, we were driving down this narrow road that was beginning to flood. And, at the bottom of the hill were 3 huge black cats in a row - a mother, followed by her almost fully grown daughter and son. I suddenly panicked at the thought of hitting a large 150+ pound black wild cat. Mom and daughter were off the road by the time I got there. And, fortunately, the son turned his head to notice our headlights and speed in the driving rain. He hesitated and then stopped just before the asphalt, avoiding us from hitting and probably killing him. My wife and I saw the 3 massive black cats with twitching tails almost as long as their bodies. No spots or markings in the driving rain.
Morning, I'm from Missouri and am planning on starting a worm farm. Is there anywhere to purchase Missouri nightcrawlers? Thanks in advance, hope you have a good day.
That's my very close relative. There's weird controversy about him. The first mountain man. I have paperwork that someone on the Coulter side of the family tracked the family but stopped when they found that a pirate Edward Teach is a relative. The colter name is now Coulter. My mom's maiden name.
That's my close relative. My mom's maiden name is Coulter. They added a U into the name later on. Saccagwea is a very close relative too. I got documents from the Coulter side of the family, that was tracing our family tree until they discovered that there was a pirate in the family history named Edward Teach. And tried to cover that up.

I was in public school from about 1960 to 1973 or thereabouts. I haves seen boys paddled, switched, caned, and sometimes with their pants down. I can not recall a female student ever being paddled or spanked, no matter what she was wearing and no matter what she had done. Some superstition about spanking adversely affecting childbearing.
