Cheers Arry I,ve had a really good look mate, but alas have,nt found any, it,s not on my normal ground I only found it because I noticed a load of crows and magpies on it when I was driving along a country lane, it's on private land and I,m in full veiw so I have to be a bit carefull, I,ve got the go ahead from a girl that keeps a horse a few fields away to leave my van in her yard so I can sneak in and have a good look around, I,m hoping for a foot of snow when I wake up as I have a day off tomorrow which will be spent in the wood behind the carcass so maybe a few more clues tomorrow 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But I,ll leave all that to someone else to pursue its hard enough looking for non excistant felines while trying to earn a living not piss off my wife and stay sane at the same time 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But do you think there will come a point for you when you say I've out this much into this chased every lead under the sun and have no proper physical evidence and call it a day or are you happy to keep finding these sort of clues. What's your end game is my question I suppose ? I'd imagine obviously his end game would be to get enough evidence to convince even the doupters .

Greyman 28,922 Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 I think the first hurdle is to accept they are here and that's a really hard one, but my goal is to learn and understand there behaviours what weather conditions push them in certain directions, what they eat at certain times of the year what geographical locations are attractive to them and so on, once you have unlocked all these puzles(and remember it's a non native animal in strange surroundings so won't always behave like its African or American ancestors) once you get to the point were you understand all the above it should be a simple case of thinking all the conditions are now perfect and the cat will be moving to this location so I can get some cameras in the right place at the right time of year and know that I,m in with a good shout of getting a good photo in relatively short time, it would also be nice to get to a point were government accept it and work with us instead of keep covering things up, 30 year ago if I was at work and a strong warm south westerly wind was picking up with no moon I would be excited about getting home, getting my dog and lamp and being out for the night, well those days are gone for me now, but I still need that buzz, so last week when a strong cold easterly wind started I think that will move the cats to this location now and when I have a little drive through the area and find a hollowed out animal like the badger it confirms what I was expecting that there is a cat in the area, so next year in September I will have cameras there waiting for it before it arrives and that's were I want to be able to get to, you also have to remember there is someone like me in most county,s of England and we're all trying to be the first past the post, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough if they are out there and that is a big if because there has been zero concrete evidence you are on the right track bit now it seems it's got to a point you have a few pictures of non related animal carcasses word of mouth tales from 3rd parties and are accepting it as 100% proof they are in the uk I have actually seen two with my own eyes,both black leopards one a male and one a female judging by the size difference, I have had two very close trustworthy friends that have encountered Lynx in the wild one last year and one 30 year ago, I have footprints that can not come from any other animal, as did the guy in the video but no one picked up on that, to get to 100percent takes lots of smaller percentages, I could show you a perfect pic of a leopard and you would just say not in England, so to prove its in England I have to fill in all the gaps ,my case has to be 110 percent and I will still have doubters, many of the carcasses not the smaller ones like fox,s and badgers but deer, horses and a dog have been checked by vets and confirmed as big cat kills, I,m a simple bloke who loves being out in the countryside but many involved are biologists, scientists and professors, they are really good at the academic side of things but would never consider trespassing on private land to gather evidence, so that's were I come in and hopefully we will bring a complete case between us hope that helps I'm off for tea Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's as much proof towards aliens, el chupacobra and the yetti as it is a lion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 20,728 Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 I think the most plausible answer has to be the big cats are jumping between interdimensional gateways. ...it explains a lot . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That was actually put forward as one theory in the Fortean Times to explain the number of black cat sightings in the UK,i read the article,it was something about portals from another realm allowing black panthers to enter the UK.I never read another fortean times after that,i cancelled my subscription. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's a shame Mackem. It sounds like much better journalism than some traditional mainstream sources! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
