Buddy hunting the Florida turkey opener shot the video with an iPhone. 35 yds in a ground blind. Not a house cat.

What are predator hunting laws like in FL? That's a dream scenario for me... I say that now but if the situation were to arise, I'd probably crap my pants

I have to assume they are protected in florida. They are the only breeadable population east of the Rockies

One more.
I wish I could post the whole video. These are screen shots so blurry. However, it’s a big predator

That's cool. Not legal to shoot in FL.

Cats from the Big Bend area were imported there 20 years back to diversify their local populaton.

Very cool. Why can't you post the video?

[SwampRanger]

Not black though

That would be an awesome experience!

Probably wouldn't be a good idea to take a shot at this one. I'm sure USFWS would love to know there was a sighting especially if no other sightings near there.


FROM U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

The Florida panther is a subspecies of Puma concolor (also known as mountain lion, cougar, or puma) and represents the only known breeding population of puma in the eastern United States. In 1967, the Department of the Interior listed the Florida panther as an endangered subspecies. Since then, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has worked closely with the state of Florida, as well as other federal agencies and private partners to make significant progress towards achieving recovery.

Under the current Recovery Plan, established in 2008, the Service will consider delisting the panther when three populations of at least 240 individuals each (excluding dependent-aged kittens) have been established, and sufficient habitat to support these populations is secured in the long-term. These recovery goals cannot be met without establishing additional populations outside of southern Florida, requiring support from private landowners.

In 2013, the Service formed a Florida Panther Recovery Implementation Team, consisting of members representing the Service, National Park Service, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and other stakeholders, with a mandate to prioritize and facilitate management and research activities that are crucial to the achieving the recovery goals identified in the 2008 Recovery Plan.
