Of the 250 cougars released, approximately 50 were black. Most of the cats were released from the Cumberland Plateau east but a few were set out in Cheatham and Hickman Counties.
You can get conmplete information by calling the TWRA headquarters and asking for Mike Hunt. He is in charge of the major predator program for all of TN. The program is designed to help hunters control the rapid expansion of deer and turkeys. The originators of the release schedule said they did not believe there would be enough human attacks to even worry about.

I love how these 2nd hand big cat sightings are always from people purported to be "Honest", "Trustworthy" "Avid Outdoorsmen", with "no reason to lie" or make things up etc.
Just once I want to hear "My drunk POS Uncle saw a black panther and shot the piss out of him, unloaded his magazine". He's been driving around for a week showing it off in the bed of his pickup. (followed by clear pictures and other supporting evidence)
No one ever shoots. If I see a black panther, a bigfoot, the Loche Ness monster, a Unicorn, Chubacabre, or a Leprechaun I promise you I am going to drag that sucker out of the woods.

You don't have to shot a Bigfoot either. Keep some jack links with you. They love those, they won't hurt you. But just don't tease them with it. It can get ugly quick. BTW, it's true. I saw it on tv one time.

I'm pretty sure no has actually ever seen Mike Hunt. I believe Phil McGroin took over this project.

It should be easy for everyone to see, this project quickly went South and then was stopped because of various disease.
