Simoman 110 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Now as I sit here at wags house awaiting my sunday lunch I thought i'd tell you what I saw today. On the A17 at Heckington in Lincolnshire less than an hour ago I parked my truck and watched a black leopard from a distance of less than a hundred yards, now I know people will think I saw something else but my carrer has been working with animals and also licensing animals under the DDA. I watched the leopard for ten minutes walking along a dyke and stalking a crow, I finally got out of my truck and walked along a hedge and got within 50 yards, the cat flattened its ears and laid down in the plough before bolting into the dyke, I then walked to the edge of the dyke and threw some clods of earth into the cover in the dyke, what concerned me most was the leopard actually came towards me in the dyke bottom at a stalk, need less to say I bottled it and returned to the truck. I know I will get shit for thisa but people who know me know I wouldn't make mistakes and as Im sat here on wags computer he tells me there have been numerous sightings in the area. I tried to get a photo on my camera phone buts its a cheap model and was useless, Im hoping to persuade wag after lunch to have a drive back, I did have four dogs in the car but thought it may contrivine the hunting act and produce one hell of a vet bill.........

Kay 3,709 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I also saw what i can only describe as a black cat of some kind about 2 months ago , i didnt get a photo as it simply jumped over something & it was actually the tail that caught my attention , very long & seemed to be the same thickness from base to the tip Just struck me as rather large for a domestic moggie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welshwildfowler 0 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Hi There are a lot of strange things out there. A mate of mine told me a few years ago that he saw whilst he was out on his mountain bike on a forestry path near Maesteg (south Wales) what he described as a small bear, it was standing up on its back legs and when it saw him, it dropped down onto all fours and walked into the forest. Ok I know it sounds crazy, but I believed him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

willum 89 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 your are not the only 1's who have seen a black cat me and my mate see one about 4 weeks ago was out lamping charly's using the squeaker one at the bottom off the feild we spotted something thought it was the farmers dog at first but it was low and sleak to big for fox to long for the lab uped the zoom on the old scopes it was about 350 yds away and not hanging about in walking along the ditch line so we started to move down the feild lights of got to where we last see it lamp on and nothing we drove all the way around the surrounding feilds and there was nothing and the scary bit was my mate was out in the feild looking for a charly we had just shot and he was 60 - 70 yds out now what would have happened had we not spotted it ?

Guest lavyheed Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 There's rumours that there's one on the estate just down the road from me, i haven't seen anything but a few people reckoned they have. Gotta be some truth in it! There was a report and pictures of one being seen in the Glasgow area a couple of months back,can't remember what area it was though.
