Old Scatterbrain Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 You mean souped up wildcats? "Knock 'im out, John!"My favorite Jerry Clower quote, which I have used frequently because so often it seems so true, is "It is obvious you have been educated beyond your intelligence."

Shawnee McGrutt Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I agree 100% with Loophole LaRue. My brother was one of those desk jockeys. Most of the wildlife biologist that I know,have spent more time in the woods, then one could imagine. Don't cut a person down because they have a education.

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm not sure that I would call a professional wildlife biologist a "desk jockey"; most of those folks have some very decent field experience to go along with years of training in anatomy and behavior. Many are in a better position than you or I, no matter how long we have lived in an area, to accurately and dispassionately analyze reported sightings. I'm not totally discounting eyewitness observations - but trained observers are often more accurate. A quick Web search indicates that the consensus seems to be that no one has taken a verified black leopard, cougar or other large cat, that might be described by some non-desk jockeys as a "black panther", in North America. Just about every year, we get reports around here of big cat sightings, often accompanied by an unscaled photo of a paw print that could easily be a Tabby or a lion, depending upon actual size. Unfortunately, the verifications always fall short, leaving us with only rumor and campfire stories. LL +10!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
