Should possibly leave your house then, north Devon shows not a million miles from you, lots of reports of sightings from all round you yesterday, it's actually embarrassing you could be considered a journalist to ptd87 I,m not interested in moggy,s and maybe you don't even have a gun but as with everyone else if you should ever happen to shoot one, (a proper leopard size cat) instead of burying or burning the body I ,will buy it from you and have it collected for scientific research, there will be no questions asked and no names needed Edited August 2, 2018 by Greyman Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,948 Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I do have a short film shot on an iPhone that I,ve been told is being offered to the papers at the moment don't know what has been asked or offered, the girl that filmed it said she was going to try and sell it to the papers after she sent us a copy ?? Regarding the sightings reported I don't have the specifics,people come to the shows and visit the big cat stand there are charts you can stick coloured stickers on in sections you agree with or not, and there are witness statement forms that people can fill in if they want, this is how you know of areas with good form because if 10 people that have never met all saw the same thing in the same place a pattern emerges, so if someone contacted me and said I saw a puma in Devon at such and such place I can check with the guy that keeps the data if anyone else has reported the same and that then makes it worth looking a bit closer, had 6 sightings reported last year by different people non of them new the others and all happened within 5 miles of each other so I have put up a couple of cameras there and so it goes, 1 Link to post Share on other sites
