Hunters Fail to Find Panther Near Tidioute
Six weary hunters spent a snowbound day in the woods near Tidioute chasing a panther or cougar without sightings. Owner Bill Anderson plans a larger search next Saturday, depending on further reports and possible game-protector issues. Some observers in the area had reported glimpses, linking the beast to the Selkirk Grand Valley sighting, while at least one resident dismissed the claims as a starved hound.
