what type of wild cats are in ga
It seems that one of the oldest animal discussions in Georgia is the one centered on big black cats-Black Panthers. While there are panthers and other cats on the terrain of Georgia, it is debatable as to whether there are large black panthers in the state.One of the oldest sightings of a black panther was in 1958 near Rome, Georgia.ake no mistake that there are Big cats in Georgia. A road kill of a mnt. lion on hwy 106 a few years back in Madison county was all the proof I needed. My mother in law called 911 to get one out of her backyard about the same time. Too many people see them.

This allows hunters and trappers to pursue the bobcat within regulated seasons. Hunting techniques for bobcat include the use of dogs and the use of manual predator calls.
