[QUOTE="Sending156s, post: 3016843, member: 109060"] 57 years ago coon hunting in Tallahalla swamp with 2 uncles. We were miles deep in the swamp & only had 1 16 ga shotgun between us. We heard what sounded like a dying woman’s last scream, then heard another spread apart. The hounds quit hunting and headed back to our truck. We figured it was panthers……very eerie sound. I was just a kid & was scared. I pulled out my pocketknife on the way out. They stayed the same distance from us all the way out. About a month later a farmer that lived about 4-5 north of us killed 2 panthers at his stock pond after he had lost a couple of calves to them. The swamp was a good place to grow up. There was a $5 bounty on beavers. Just had to turn in thier tails. The fur only brought about 35 cents each & are really a pain in the *** to skin, stretch, & scrape. A cousin & me spent all our time trapping for the tails as the only other way to make money was hauling hay square hay bales, & catching chickens in commercial houses. When I joined the USMC 2 weeks after turning 17 my fieldcraft & shooting skills were more advanced than Marines with a lot of time in. [/QUOTE]
