Certainly puts a spin on some of the posts on here previously regards tracks and tracking . Dis speak to many people on the subject ,few cranks ,few genuine people at first meeting with tails to tell but many more sceptics . Anyway heres the tracks along side a river . Part of the tracking showed direst register ,something suggested to go hand in hand with cats . Your thoughts please . Small one looks like mink Link to post Share on other sites

Top one is indeed canine ,an elderly lab I followed with no apparent claws either .Sort of dispels the notion that only cat prints don’t have claw marks . 1 Link to post Share on other sites

What exactly is it about these ghosts that has them worried .It’s not as if they are attacking people ,livestock in numbers or pets so what’s the big issue .The media certainly don’t have any block on reporting it which you’d think would happen if gov are that intent on stifling dna findings . Also are there any pics of the hair hanging off the fence that was dna tested and positively found to be panthera . Animals leave fur in a very specific way when snagged on a barbed wire fence solid of thought the chap would have took a few pics before taking it away . Link to post Share on other sites

EDDIE B 3,162 Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Well I just watched the whole thing, and to be honest I quite enjoyed it. All the usual suspects were in it, and none of them were over annoying with their notions. Then that Rick Minter came on, and what a complete wally he was. Absolute idiot going around with his toy leopards, making an ass of himself. I suppose they couldn't have left him out of it. Apart from that, and a few other daft statements from others, it was an interesting watch, with good information from some real experts. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted May 15, 2023 Report Share Posted May 15, 2023 Just watched it twice and being honest it’s a good vid if your that way swayed to start with but if you’ve an enquiring mind there are more questions than answers for me . I fully get the excitement some of those presenters exhibit ,even the one who’s seen Bigfoot but there does seem a trend for shall we say off grid folk to be involved . Id of liked to see the hair samples in place before it was tested ,could have been taken from the zoo in the vid tbh . The thermal vid taken in red palette was useless .White hot is the only real outline screen so Paul ,have a word please sir . It’s like this really . Tell a wildlife expert there’s a possibility of some animal in the area and your 90% on the road to finding proof .Tell him nothing and your 1% into finding anything out the ordinary . These trackers etc are no different ,having been told,asked to verify large cat tracks .The real proof is in seeing and stating categorically that’s this or that from a cold find without a prompt .

I don't like the trophy hunters angle that's being talked about . If people spending considerable amount of time find it hard to get evidence let alone a picture then what chance have trophy hunters got 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
