beast 1,884 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 supposedly 20 odd years ago there was some sort of big cat living up around caithness or sutherland i forget which and killing sheep, and calves and deer. in the end they had a massive drive through a huge forest area and shot a big black lurcher. as i remember the story they found loads and loads of animal remains in the forest and reckon it must have been there for ages. anybody remember anything more about this?

stevemac 419 Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Here in Aus plenty of pig dogs go missing some a killed by farmers or dingo packs but some are ruff enough and smart enough to live in the bush for years. They tend to form a pack with a young dingo bitch. If they stay away from stock but most dont and the the poison, the trap, or the rifle take them out. 1 Quote Link to post
