I have never seen a panther in North Carolina but, I have heard one. That was one of the scariest sounds I have ever heard and I will never forget it. Everyone I've spoken to about it says yes there are panthers in these mountains.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
