I seen one in Eastern Montana in 1989.  Still one of the stragest things I've ever seen while hunting.  Told this to one of the ranchers nearby a couple years ago and he had seen it from his plane about the same time.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Uhm no! straight from Wiki

Melanistic cougars
There are no authenticated cases of truly melanistic cougars. None have ever been photographed or shot in the wild and none have been bred. There is wide consensus among breeders and biologists that the animal does not exist and is a cryptid.

Cryptid, is a pseudoscience focused on the search for animals which are considered to be legendary or otherwise nonexistent by mainstream biology. This includes looking for living examples of animals which are considered to be extinct, such as dinosaurs; animals whose existence lacks empirical support but which appear in myths, legends, or undocumented sightings, such as Bigfoot and el Chupacabra;[1] and wild animals dramatically outside of their normal geographic ranges, such as phantom cats.

Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.
Psalm 144.1

The cat in the trail cam could make a great mount.

It is a dog in the trail cam pic.  What are the odd of getting a black cougar with the bow with out the use of dogs.
