is that sasquatch a full mount or just a shoulder mount? Maybe a European?

Gun's don't kill people. The Government does.

I killed eight gophers last year and a purebred Tennessee walking horse that was looking at me funny.

As footage goes for claims of black panthers, that would be spot-on perfect. The cat isn't clear in the video. There is no scale to reasonable assess size. No real detail is present. Of course, there is no body.

That's true. And it could be a pet jaguar. But it's not a house cat. And it could be a pet cougar that someone dyed its hair for a hoax.

I would pass too.
Original Texas settlers recorded that they existed in South Texas when they got here.
They went away with the bears, buffalo and leopards.
That is why I would pass.
Seen any passenger pigeons lately?

Thats a house cat in that video. Just like the video people shot across a tank of a cat on a tank dam, just a house cat.

Do you honestly think if there was food in that food plot (deer) that the cat would make his presence known? They're the most patient hunters in the animal kingdom. They will likely sit extremely still along the edge and wait for supper to come walking by. The the deer in the picture is clearly not a prey item for the cat or on its menu, housecat.

The muscle structure just isn't there for it to be a leopard or a jaguar and we all know black mountain lions do not exist; housecat.

IF I see a big black cat, I'm shooting. The only big black cat that would possibly be seen is an exotic species that does not belong here in the states.

I don't for a minute believe it would be a jaguar that migrated north from Mexico, because where are all of yellowish colored jaguars??? There are none. So with the black jaguars being 10% of the population or so, a black cat seen in the states is not a Jaguar that wandered its way over here from the wild.

IF you see a large black cat, its an escapee, good chance it has lost its fear of humans, you bet I'm shooting.

Settlers in south Tx. black coat jaguars. They still have spots that can be seen in the daylight and do exist even today.
The only true large black cats ever verified were in Asia nd Africa.

That's not always the case. Large cats, and other predators, are often seen amongst animals that would otherwise be their prey. The animals know when the cats are hunting and when they're just strolling by looking for a drink or commuting to another spot. If, in fact, that was a large cat, and I'm not saying it was, it obviously wasn't in hunting mode. I agree with Orn, I don't think it's a housecat. This video is kind of like Bigfoot video footage/pictures,..there's only enough there to wet your pallet, but nothing of any substance to satisfy your taste buds.

So its ok to shoot a unicorn but not a Sasquatch? I suppose the Loch Ness monster is fair game too? Why don't you just knock-up the tooth fairy, shoot Rudolph, snare the Easter bunny, and put out poison catnip for all the black mtn lions. Geesh...no respect for nature at all.

I would shoot it, have it verified, mount it, create a wonderful carney style display, then make a tour of every hunting outdoor show and expo in the State, including the Texas State Fair and charge per head to see "the real, it's true, the one and only, Texas Black Panther"! Of course I would pick up some other strange but true oddities like a double headed rattlesnake, a real jackelope, a real chupacabra, and more to make sure everyone got their money's worth. I would be rich in no time.

I saw some sort of black critter 25 yrs ago in Colorado county. I had a scoped .243, it was about 200 yds away. It was slightly bigger than a bobcat, a tail equal to its body length. At the time I said it was black. In hindsight, it may have been a silvery black. I watched it till it disappeared. Never shot
