I have been told the same thing by Kentucky wildlife experts, game wardens and National Park rangers. No, no you saw a bobcat. Right except it was three times as big as the biggest bobcat I have ever saw, it has the head of a mt. lion, not that of a bobcat, it has the brown color of a mt. lion and has the long tail of a mt. lion. I have seen it several times as well as my wife and mother-in-law, all same description, plus have found tracks in snow around the house, yet they just don’t exist according to the keepers of all animal knowledge.
As for boogers as they are called in the mountains of Kentucky, I’m open to their existence but haven’t seen definite proof. Living in the mountains and way out in the boonies I can tell you there are things in the woods that will chill you to the bone if you hear them start carrying on in the dark of night and don’t know what they are. A fox screaming, a mt. lion going on like a woman screaming, two raccoons engaged in battle or a pack of coyotes slaughtering a stray dog. However, there have been things happen around my home which I cannot explain, they match no known animal sounds or behavior in the Appalachian mountains. Yet I cannot say it is a booger, it is just unexplained and very strange.
Can you share what was strange or unexplained?
Might jog an interesting explanation out of someone...
Yikes! You have this city kid wondering if the small patch of woods down the street is too risky for anyone other than large armed parties.
