My guess would be cougar or panther too....could also be a sasquatch?!? ; ) oh thats right those haven't been declared extinct.....then ill stick with cougar.
I was actually in Virginia this past May for my sister's wedding... The wedding was at Valhalla Vineyard., That is some beautiful country you live in up there! Was nice to actually see elevation changes! The only elevation changes you get in South Louisiana is the levee systems!
