I didn't see it but the guy I just took out hunting was raving about it. It seems that the requirements for filming Black Panthers are:



1/. A real crap camera, that consistantly gives blurred images.

2/. Make sure you're shaking when you take the shot.

3/. Make sure that there is absolutely no other objects in the picture, so that viewers can get an idea of the scale.



Yeah, we have one in the foothills here that is regularly sighted, the local newspaper and even TV report it from time to time, so it's got to be for real. Even got some of those yellow diamond road signs, warning to watch out for panthers.



I haven't yet listed them in my guided trophy availability, but I'm sure there is someone, local who will guide you on one.

But don't forget to smear a little vaseline on your camera lens.





Here's a local news story.
