BABCOCK, Fla. — Jason Francis say he was turkey hunting in Babcock Preserve when he came across a panther.
He shared this video with FOX 4's Kaitlin Knapp.
Francis say he believes the panther thought he was a turkey.
"I was making a bunch of hen calls trying to call in a big ole gobbler. So in a way...stalking me. If I didn't poke my head out from the tree, it would've walked in my lap. He came up behind me. Luckily, I saw him before he saw me."
Francis say he saw one in the same area last year, but not as close.
