What is LBL?

Sorry just trying to get a geographic location.


Lions are possible. They've got one documented from from SD and was finally hit in CT. Doesn't surprise me. As far as DNRs stocking them, well......


The whole BLACK panther thing...that's laughable....regular, faun colored, makes swns just about anywhere in the USA. Young males roam and there's not many places the couldn't eventually migrate to if they wanted to within their young roaming days. Breeding populations and females are a different story.



Heck I migrated from NC to MN. Thought I'd left everything behind that poked, bit or stung.....come to find out we got rattlers and that other one, wolves, bears, yeller jackets, hornets, briars, locust, Skeeter's, flies, poison oak and sumac, and Somalis. A cougar migrating west to east makes sense to me :D

I think he is referring to the Land between the Lakes on the Northern Middle Tennessee, Southern Middle Kentucky border. I could be wrong though.

They are common in my area but I've never seen one. They mostly are found in the bluffs by LaCrosse, WI.

Very cool I like snakes. I consider them allies. They kill and eat the rodents & bugs that torment us.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Yes, LBL = Land Between the Lakes in western KY & TN.

And yea I've had people talk about seein panthers. I'm not buyin it. I wouldn't have believed the stories about mountain lions either if I hadn't seen the newspaper article or the video on the tv. But hey who knows?
