What I'm about write..I don't blame anyone for thinking I've been on those rattlers..!!
So on the way home on the moors,with son next to me ,I saw sitting on a verge a large black cat either a puma or similar,,I saw it so clearly,I said to my son,loooook,and he got a good look at it ,especially its long slinky tail disappearing in the undergrowth..was about same size as an Alsation dog,..estimated..
Last year ,found pawprints behind my armo,bigger than a midi spomb,plus a worried farmer,pacing up n down ,looking for evidence with his wife..
I have seen lots of stuff,stuff which most disbelieve, but not this .
They do exist...

Did you Puma pants when you saw it
Next you will be telling us that you were driving a tractor, the brakes came off, it rolled down a hill and missed an 80k Range Rover by mms
I believe you, cranks will have them as pets and let them go no doubt, makes you wonder how they get them here though?

Ha,ha,I knew I'd get my leg pulled over this,but however,I don't lie about country stuff,not ever..
Anyway ,I do know a few things about where two mightve ended up ,that's two Pumas..,remember my ex colleague breeds Servals,one of a miniscule amount of people in this country allowed to do so..
It's interesting ,because lots of reports of strange sightings all over the place...at the moment..it sure wasn't no fox,..or dog,or big main coon cat I saw
The question I should be asking as an edit...
Has anyone else ever seen what I'm on about,and no I won't extract the urine..I'm just interested,as I've seen two possibly three,and been in my shelter when a big ewe was dismantled out on the moors...like I say interesting..!

Yeah defo out there, I saw a black leopard clear as day when I was 14 and nightfishing alone on an isolated farm pond, always felt uneasy down there at night ever since even though said cat would be long gone by now, and 95% sure I saw a lynx cross the road ahead of me at night about 5 years back.

Not so strange people have pets and when they grow they cant handle them and let them go... Most of the times they are killed by traffic or hunters..

When you drive around rural areas you see plenty of dead animals at the side of the road that have been hit by cars. Foxes badgers deer all sorts. If there were big cats out there I believe a dead one would have turned up by now for sure.

Disagree, the population density of those you list is massive and none are as solitary.

Not sure about the theory, how often do you see dead cats in urban streets....not often.
@ W, I've posted this on the forum before, in France in the very early days of a lake starting up a Lynx made a kill (Coypu) less than 8 feet from my tent. I know they probably wouldn't pose a real threat to us but I wouldn't like to mess with anything approaching the size of a lab.

I think the think to remember is that unless you have actually seen a big cat in the British countryside, its really hard to believe they exist,I don't blame them..
Until you see one,..
Last year my fishing mate saw one,it came down to the lake to drink in the morning,he is a believer now,and since bought three of those trail cams..
On that particular session, I had huge paw prints behind my armo,which I took pics of..also the farmer and his wife,spent a lot of time walking around the lake looking for prints after a bullock had big scratches on it..not only this,all the wildlife made a massive commotion in the woods behind us,then it went quiet..

I think they are more frightened of us than we are of them to be honest.. but,my mate,full on countryman,born on the moors,Bodmin Moor,and a total disbeliever,
Spent the night under his brolly with only what I can describe as 'coralled'thats all debris dragged around his swim,I couldn't get anywhere near him for a chat..
He didn't believe,he seen one,now he believes.
