NO joke. The owner was found dead outside his place and his critters are running loose. About a half-hour winding drive from my place. Those big cats can cover a lot of ground fast.

Funny thing is, I found out after I got home about 40 minutes ago and on my way home, 3 different times in about 5 miles, deer ran right in front of my truck and small groups were running in the fields. Lots more activity than usual. Could be the rut coming in, who knows. All I know is that I saw all that extra activity and when I get home, I find out that about 48 LARGE predators got loose ouside of Zanesville.
