I have hoped to see one on various trips, but never have. I did see a wolf on the TA and back then was excited to see a coyote in Virginia (now of course they are everywhere). I've seen bobcats here and there. Here in the Tallahassee area we are out of the range of the Florida Panther so I won't see them on the home trails. There are plenty of gators to worry about when my dog is near the water though. Not as exciting as apex preditors, but we also have to watch for cotton mouths and few species of rattle snakes (most often eastern diamondbacks). Sadly my old pup is getting so old she seldom is up for much more than a walk around the block if even that so that worry is gone. She was a great trail dog in her day and took care of me on the trail, Now we do what we can to keep her comfortable and know we won't be able to for very long. Life can be hard.
